Included Modules:

What Is the AIFMD?

Explains the EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive and which managers and alternative funds it brings under authorisation and regulatory oversight.

What the AIFMD Requires of You

Covers core AIFMD duties: authorisation, minimum capital, a depositary, risk and liquidity management, remuneration rules, and reporting to regulators and investors.

Red Flags Every Fund Manager Should Know

Highlights warning signs of AIFMD breaches, such as weak risk controls, depositary gaps, missing disclosures, and late or inaccurate regulatory reporting.

How to Stay Compliant as an AIFM

Shows fund managers practical steps to keep their AIFMD authorisation, meet ongoing reporting duties, and respond when national regulators raise concerns.

Why is this training important for workplaces?

If your firm manages alternative investment funds in the EU, AIFMD sets the rules for how you get authorized, manage risk, value assets, handle leverage, and report to regulators. Get it wrong and you’re looking at regulatory fines, frozen marketing rights across the EU, and investors who lose confidence in how their money is handled. This training helps your teams understand their obligations so the firm stays authorized, keeps its reporting clean, and protects the trust that fund relationships depend on.
