What EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) 2011/61/EU & AIFMD II 2024/927 requires
Directive 2011/61/EU governs EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs) - managers of hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and other non-UCITS funds. Sub-threshold exemption: AIFMs with AUM below EUR 100M (leveraged) or EUR 500M (unleveraged, 5-year lock-up closed-end) register with their NCA only. Full-scope AIFMs require NCA authorisation, a single depositary per AIF (Article 21), minimum capital of EUR 125,000 plus 0.02% of AUM exceeding EUR 250M (capped at EUR 10M), an EU marketing passport (Article 31, 20 working days), and annual Annex IV regulatory reporting. AIFMD II (Directive 2024/927/EU, in force 15 April 2024) adds harmonised liquidity management tools (Annex V menu), mandatory rules for loan-originating AIFs (closed-ended structure required, 5% risk retention), and clarified delegation provisions.
