Partner Karen Butler authored an article for Finextra examining proposed reforms to the UK’s alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) regime and what the changes could mean for fund managers.
Karen explores the proposed shift towards a more proportionate regulatory framework, including new size-based classifications, simplified reporting requirements and changes to valuation and risk management obligations.
While smaller managers could benefit from a lighter regulatory burden, Karen notes that the impact on medium and large managers may be more limited. She also outlines practical steps firms should consider ahead of the proposed implementation in 2028.
