Publication of guidance on documents and information to be submitted for the assessment of the shareholding structure of authorised IFMs – initial authorisation and modification of an authorised IFM (qualified and non-qualified shareholders)

The CSSF would like to bring to your attention the publication of a new guidance document detailing the documents and information to be submitted by authorised IFMs for the assessment of their shareholding structure.

The document sets out the list of minimum documents and information to be provided to the CSSF to assess the shareholding structure of an authorised IFM for both the initial authorisation and any subsequent amendment to an authorised IFM (qualified and non-qualified shareholders). The CSSF reserves the right to request any additional information and documents where appropriate.

As from this publication date, any request/application received by the CSSF that does not include these minimum documents and information will not be considered as complete and the analysis of the file will not start until reception of a complete application.

The new guidance document for IFMs is available under the link below.
