New York (HedgeCo.Net) – Carne has launched the latest in its popular series of guides for fund managers, the AIFMD Guide for Asset Managers.

“There remains a great deal of confusion in some quarters of the funds industry about the obstacles and requirements of the AIFMD. We felt there was a need to explain, in clear language, what the Directive requires, and what fund managers should be thinking about now it is coming into force. We hope this will prove a useful reference tool for alternative managers revisiting the topic of European funds distribution.”  John Donohoe, CEO of Carne Group, said.

The publication is intended as a comprehensive primer on the Directive, written specifically for product developers and fund managers considering the complexities of the AIFMD and how it applies to their own distribution strategies.

The Guide follows the publication of earlier successful Carne booklets on Fund Redomiciliation andUCITS for Alternative Fund Managers. It has been written by Carne’s in-house team of independent fund directors and distribution experts.

Carne now offers AIFMD Management Company and Self-Managed Funds solutions in both Ireland and Luxembourg, and was the first firm to gain authorisation for an independent AIFMD manco in Ireland. Carne also has experienced risk management teams in both locations to provide outsourced risk management expertise under the terms of the Directive.
