Risk Management & Regulatory Reporting FAQs
The purpose of AIFMD risk management is to protect investors by ensuring that AIFMs have robust risk management processes in place to identify, measure, and manage the risks associated with the AIF.
AIFMD requires AIFMs to implement an effective risk management framework that is appropriate for the size and complexity of the AIF. This includes conducting regular risk assessments, implementing policies and procedures, and monitoring and reporting on the effectiveness of those measures.
Failing to comply with these risk management requirements can result in fines, sanctions, and reputational damage.
