RESOURCE

The new EU Directives on AIFM
On 11 November 2010, the European Parliament voted to approve the controversial new Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers by an overwhelming majority (513 to 92 votes), concluding many months of highly politicised and contentious negotiations among the European Union regulators, individual Member States, and the industry.

Fund and Asset Management update
In October, the Securities and Futures Commission began a one-month consultation to solicit public comments on a proposal to refine the requirements for evidencing whether a person qualifies as a high-net-worth professional investor. This is particularly relevant for managers who target professional investors as clients.

NEW FAQs Section
To enhance the support to members, a new FAQs section under Resource Page has been launched.  Members are welcomed to raise questions related to the industry through the webpage. The questions will be vetted and answered by Resource committee in batches.
