A cross-service team of specialists from KPMG Law, led by Ulrich Keunecke, KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, in particular the KPMG EU Services Team led by Olaf Buske, as well as the global KPMG network had been investigating the impact of the AIFMD on the asset management market for the last 15 months on behalf of the EU Commission. The background to this is the requirement of Art. 69 AIFMD, according to which the EU Commission is called upon to review the AIFMD with regard to its achievement of objectives in the light of application experience. The report is an important part of this review.
Great thanks go to the national regulators for their support and to all participants in the online survey and expert interviews.
