News
The regulatory environment of the investment management industry is changing rapidly. The AIFMD, for example, will introduce a license requirement for managers of currently unregulated real estate funds, private equity funds, hedge funds and other alternative investment funds. At the same time, pension funds are facing a tougher regulatory regime in terms of prudent investment management, regulatory buffers, governance and skills (DNB) as well as conduct of business and transparency rules (AFM).
