AIFMD Level 1

AIFMD Level 1 is the fundamental European Union regulation that sets the basic rules for managing and selling alternative investment funds (such as private equity, hedge funds, and real estate funds) within the EU. It aims to ensure transparency, protect investors, and promote stability in the financial markets by establishing core requirements for fund managers, including licensing, risk management, and operational standards. These rules create a consistent legal framework across EU member states, facilitating cross-border investment activities while safeguarding investors and maintaining market integrity.
