On June 26, 2013 Morgan Lewis presented the summer session of our quarterly Morgan Lewis Hedge Fund UniversityTM webinar series, where we discussed important issues surrounding the marketing of alternative investment funds in the European Union (EU) under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).
Our panelists examined these issues in light of the private placement overlay, which takes effect on July 22, 2013 and will require U.S. managers marketing funds to EU investors to comply with the transparency and reporting provisions of AIFMD, subject to the transitional period.
Our panelists also explored each constituent element of the private placement overlay and the preparatory steps U.S. managers should be taking in order to be in compliance.
