Announcements on AIFMD Cooperation Agreements with Key Funds Jurisdictions

The long-anticipated European Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive is due for implementation on 22 July 2013.

For non-EU based managers and funds to continue to be able to market to EU investors after implementation, one of the key requirements is for cooperation agreements to be in place between the regulators of the jurisdiction of the fund and the jurisdiction of the manager and each jurisdiction into which those funds are being marketed.
