New rules for the AIFMD and UCITS Directive were published on 26 March 2024 in the Official Journal of the European Union, making them law. These investment frameworks are European success stories and an integral part of the Capital Markets Union (CMU).
In this issue of our '3 Questions 2' series, we spoke with Patricia Horsfall, Chair of EFAMA's Management Companies Standing Committee and EVP, Chief Compliance Officer International Distribution at Natixis Investment Managers. Patricia Horsfall answered the following three questions:
- Why were the current AIFMD/UCITS regimes reviewed?
- What are the major changes the review process introduced?
- In light of these changes, will these frameworks remain successful?
