The AIFM Directive raises new challenges for managers of alternative investment funds (AIFM). The Principality of Liechtenstein already presented the first drafts for the implementation of this directive in December 2010. The improved draft by the government’s working group, which was presented on 6 March 2012, has also drawn international attention. The report and request to issue a directive related to the managers of alternative investment funds (AIFMD) were submitted to the Landtag and approved at the government’s meeting on 15 May 2012. The beginning of this parliamentary process provides a suitable backdrop for an in-depth discussion among practitioners and scientists about the details of the AIFMD draft at the 3rd Liechtenstein Funds Day. The event, hosted by the University of Liechtenstein, will be held in the SAL hall at the Lindenplatz in Schaan, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to the intensive programme, participants will have the opportunity to engage in interesting expert discussions and informal conversations, as in previous years.
Expert viewpoints from Switzerland and Liechtenstein
Following on from previous events, numerous renowned experts in management regulation, risk management and on the implementation of the AIFMD and its implications for Switzerland will again be welcomed to the Funds Day. The Zurich lawyer Peter Kriebel, Senior Vice-President of Opture AG and a management consultant at Noetzold & Noetzold, will be talking about risk management under the AIFMD from a practical perspective. Dr. Reinhold Schorer of the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA) will be examining cross-border activities under the AIFMD, while Dr. Dominik Oberholzer, LL. M., lawyer and a partner at Kellerhals Anwälte in Zurich, will be delivering a speech on Switzerland’s reaction to the AIFMD.
