The French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) issued position DOC-2013-22 to clarify the transposition of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) Directive into French law. The document provides guidance to Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) managers regarding authorization or registration requirements, reporting obligations, and threshold crossing declarations, while also detailing the duties of AIF depositaries. Although the text notes that it has not yet been updated to reflect the separation of regimes under MiFID II, it remains a key reference for compliance with the AIFM framework.
