The AIFM Directive
The AIFM directive was implemented in all EU member states in 2014.
The Directive’s aim is to ensure monitoring and surveillance of the risks that an AIFM poses to their investors, counter parties and other participants in the financial market.
The Depositary role
NDS is the investors’ long arm acting as a representative for the investors towards the AIFM. However, in the end the interest is aligned: as high return as possible on the investments made in accordance with the investment documents.
