Implementation of Reporting Obligations to the AMF under the AIFM Directive

The French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) issued Position DOC-2014-09 to implement ESMA guidelines regarding reporting obligations for Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs) under the AIFM Directive. The document specifies the information that portfolio management companies, managed legal persons, and self-managed French AIFs must report to the AMF, including the timing of declarations and procedures for transitioning between reporting requirements. This position relies on European Regulation 231/2013 and the Monetary and Financial Code, though it notes that updates regarding MiFID II transposition are pending.
