Creation of a new webpage by the CSSF on the Pre-marketing activity by AIFMs

A new dedicated web page is available, regarding the pre-marketing notifications of AIFMs. 
Article 30a of Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (the “AIFMD”), as transposed by Articles 28-1 and 28-2 of the Law of 12 July 2013 on alternative investment fund managers (“AIFM Law”), provides the conditions and the notification procedure for pre-marketing in the European Union by EU AIFMs.

Directive (EU) 2019/1160 (the “CBDF Directive”) mentions that national laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the AIFMD and, in particular, with harmonised rules on pre-marketing, should not in any way disadvantage EU AIFMs vis-à-vis non-EU AIFMs. Consequently, and in order to create a level playing field between EU AIFMs and non-EU AIFMs, the CSSF considers that the same conditions and notification procedure as mentioned in Article 30a of the AIFMD, apply to non-EU AIFMs when they engage in pre-marketing to potential professional investors in Luxembourg.

All AIFMs shall ensure that pre-marketing is adequately documented.
