Regulatory AlertsDOC-2013-21 Registration Procedures for Legal Entities Managing Certain Other AIFs
The French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) specifies the procedures for registering legal entities that manage certain Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) without being authorized as portfolio management companies. The document outlines the required registration forms, including general strategy descriptions and threshold crossing notifications, referencing Article 321-167 of the AMF General Regulation and European Regulation 231/2013. The AMF notes that this doctrine has not yet been updated to reflect the legal separation of investment firms and portfolio management companies resulting from the transposition of MiFID II.
