AIFMD II Raises the Bar Again
Compliance in Italy means mastering two layers at once. AIFMD II tightens delegation and substance expectations, mandates harmonised liquidity management tools for open-ended AIFs, and imposes loan origination requirements including risk retention. Beneath it, Italian asset management is one of Europe’s largest, centred on Milan, with CONSOB and Banca d’Italia splitting conduct and prudential supervision.
Transitional deadlines demand documented readiness rather than intentions, while Annex IV cycles and depositary oversight continue in parallel. Managers who prepare late implement under supervisory attention. What works is compliance designed for this jurisdiction, where a triple-supervisor structure amid ongoing consolidation sets the accent that expectations carry. Our consultants have built exactly that for businesses across Italy.

AIFM Compliance Questions Answered
Do sub-threshold AIFMs need full authorisation?
Not always. Registration regimes apply below AIFMD thresholds, though obligations still exist and crossing thresholds triggers full authorisation, which we help you plan.
What changes does AIFMD II introduce?
Tighter delegation and substance rules, mandatory liquidity management tools for open-ended AIFs, loan origination requirements including risk retention, and expanded reporting, phasing in through transitional deadlines.
What are the loan origination rules?
AIFMs managing loan-originating funds face restrictions including retention of at least five percent of loan notional value, with limited exceptions, plus concentration and structural requirements.
What liquidity tools must AIFs adopt?
Open-ended AIFs must select at least two harmonised liquidity management tools, such as redemption gates or swing pricing, and embed them in fund documents.
Can you handle our Annex IV reporting?
Yes. We prepare and review Annex IV submissions across your funds and jurisdictions, keeping data consistent and deadlines met every cycle every time.
