Authorisation
Articles 5 to 19 of the Law of 12 July 2013 on alternative investment fund managers (“AIFM Law”) lay down the legal conditions which must be met to be granted authorisation as alternative investment fund manager (AIFM).
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 231/2013 of 19 December 2012 specifies the manner how certain articles of the AIFM Law shall be applied.
Any company intending to act as AIFM shall be authorised by the CSSF beforehand. The application file for authorisation shall include, as a minimum requirement, the information listed in the “Application questionnaire for the set up of a fully licensed alternative investment fund manager”, which can be downloaded under “Forms” together with the Market Entry Form that will have to be filled in and submitted through our eDesk Portal.
The request must also contain the information listed in the “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)” available in the dedicated section below.
