As Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) mature, greater transparency is needed. This is especially the case given the trend for some funds to access loans from banks and other financial institutions to boost their leverage. This increased leverage within the AIF universe poses potential credit risks to various counterparties that provide fund financing. Identifying an AIF’s potential credit risks may be challenging, and a series of questions should be addressed to help better understand the financial strengths and weaknesses.

When you work with Alternative Investment Fund Managers it’s important to keep in the loop what is happening in the AIFMD framework. The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (The CISI) has useful CPD modules available online to bring you up to speed with the revisions and the introduction of the Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive II ("AIFMD II"). The European Commission sees a particular need for change in the areas of delegation agreements, liquidity risk management, regulatory reporting, the provision of custody and depository services and lending by alternative investment funds. #AIFMD #Fundadministration #AlternativeInvestmentFundManagersDirective #cisicpd
