Is 2018 the year to bring
harmony to fund distribution
in Europe?
aosphere senior associate Jenny Ljunghammar
looks at what 2018 may have in store for fund
distribution regulation in Europe
At a glance
Some changes to the regulatory landscape for marketing funds
in Europe are anticipated this year. European regulators are
expected to address some of the complexities caused by
differing marketing rules, with a view to increasing
harmonisation.
Three key initiatives will likely drive these changes:
1. A review of cross-border barriers to distribution
of AIFs and UCITS in Europe.
2. An assessment of the functioning of the AIFMD
(as well as potentially the UCITS framework).
3. The review of the role of ESMA in the operation
of European supervisory powers.
We expect that there will be resistance from member states to
elements of the above initiatives. It is therefore likely that
market participants will still need to grapple with differing
requirements from member state to member state. However,
some level of improved harmonisation would be a step in the
right direction for asset managers and distributors.
