The changing regulatory landscape in European markets brings with it new opportunities for corporate and institutional investors in China and the Asian region.
One of the most high-profile changes revolves around the introduction of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) by the EU, scheduled for July 2013. It has implications for the international funds community and the corporate sector generally wishing to invest in Europe through fund vehicles.
The AIFMD is expected to provide a number of benefits and opportunities and, as EU member states prepare to formally introduce the directive, fund managers in Asia will be encouraged to know that there are options open to them, and that Jersey can be the most appropriate gateway.
