The "AIFMD 2 - Key Changes and Implementation (ONLINE EVENT: October 17, 2025)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Join the practical 1 day virtual course conducted by senior market experts on 17th October to learn about they key components of AIFMD 2 and how to best prepare for the upcoming changes.

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) has been a cornerstone of EU financial regulation since its implementation in 2013, establishing a harmonised framework for the management and marketing of alternative investment funds (AIFs). With the advent of AIFMD 2, coming in April 2026, the EU has introduced significant amendments to address gaps, enhance investor protection, and align the regime with evolving market practices.

This workshop provides a comprehensive deep dive into AIFMD 2, equipping asset managers, private bankers, and hedge fund professionals with the knowledge to navigate the revised regulatory landscape.

Key updates build upon a decade of AIFMD implementation, including stricter rules on delegation, enhanced liquidity risk management, and more granular reporting requirements.

Firms must now reassess their operational models, particularly in areas like loan origination, depositaries, and cross-border marketing, to ensure compliance. The session will also explore the directive's interplay with other regulations, such as the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and MiFID II, ensuring a holistic understanding of the compliance burden. Whether you are a compliance officer, portfolio manager, or risk specialist, this workshop will clarify the directive's implications and prepare your organization for seamless adaptation.
