Guest article in the Asset Management Guide 2024: The Fund Market Strengthening Act – Flexibilization and Debt Fund reloaded

On August 5, 2024, the Federal Ministry of Finance published the draft bill for the Act to Strengthen the German Fund Market and Implement Directive (EU) 2024/927 (“Fund Market Strengthening Act” – “FMSG”).

KPMG Law experts Ulrich Keunecke and Rainer Krall know exactly which changes are included.
