A 2.5 hour deep dive into the new EU Alternative Investment Fund Management regime.

Focus Group, 14 April 2026
from 9:30 to 12:00/15 CET

Background

The reforms introduced by the revised Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive AIFMD II signal a pivotal regulatory moment for the EU asset management industry.
AIFMD II, to be implemented by April 2026, recalibrates delegation rules, introduces a harmonised framework for loan-originating funds, and mandates new obligations on liquidity management, Annex IV reporting, and depositary regimes — with major implications for both EU and non-EU AIFMs navigating cross-border activity.

Objectives

This training provides an in-depth and practice-oriented analysis of the AIFMD II, focusing on its key regulatory changes, implementation timeline, and concrete implications for the alternative investment industry.

The session is designed as a deep dive into the new AIFMD II framework.
Participants will gain actionable insights into compliance challenges, changes to fund and manager operating models, opportunities and best practices for adapting to the evolving EU supervisory landscape.

Who should attend

• Fund managers and structuring teams (AIFs, ELTIFs, PE, credit, infra, FoFs)
• Alternative Investment Fund Managers (EU and non-EU AIFMs)
• National regulators and EU supervisors
• Depositaries and fund administrators
• Legal, compliance, and risk professionals
• CMU-focused policymakers and institutional players
• Other service providers active in the alternative investment ecosystem

Methodology

A 2.5 hour focus group consisting of:

(i) a 1.5 hour presentation providing an overview of the new regime from both legal and practical standpoints, followed by (ii) a one-hour guided group discussion session focused on deep-diving specific aspects and addressing questions or doubts.
Questions will be collected in advance via the Academy platform and discussed in detail by our experts during the second part of the focus group session.
