Cross-Border Distribution Conference 2020
Cross-border distribution goes beyond a simple registration process. It encompasses distribution of Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and other UCI’s alike, the activating of retail and wholesale channels by private placement, as well as facilitating public offering.
The UCITS Directive offered the opportunity to fund promoters and significantly reduce the time-to-market of their UCITS vehicles in Europe.
The key components of any cross border distribution according to current regulations are the simplified notification process and the handling of the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and the Key Information Document (KID) respectively.
The streamlined management of these components creates possibilities and those parties that manage to take advantage of these possibilities accelerate their time-to-market and gain an edge in a fiercely competitive global context.
The Alternative Investment Managers Directive (AIFMD) is potentially one of the most far-reaching legislative initiatives undertaken by the European Union in the field of investment services.
It provides the framework within the internal market for the cross-border distribution of Alternative Investment Funds, based on the notion of the passporting of the alternative investment manager itself, in offering in multiple jurisdictions the alternative products under management.
The challenges are in meeting host and home member state requirements, articulating those subtleties back to relevant third party countries and in understanding all the attendant requirements in regards to marketing and distribution.
Key objectives:
- To be able to access the right markets as quickly as possible
- Optimize cost management around all factors of fund distribution
- Industrialize and streamline the fund distribution process
- Ensure a smooth process across all parties from fund launch to maintenance
