Discussion Paper 12/1 from the FSA

The FSA published DP12/1 as part of its preparation for the implementation of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) on 23 January 2012. Its aim is to assist the development of well-informed, proportionate and effective regulatory policy and also to help ensure that firms are "AIFMD-ready" by the time of implementation. It is hoped that dialogue between the FSA and firms to whom the directive is relevant will help to shape and streamline policy, and also create awareness among firms as to the directive’s practical implications. The FSA invites comments on the contents of DP12/1 by 23 March 2012.
