非UCITS(欧州の集団投資スキーム)の投資信託の規制制度をめぐり市中協議を開催した アイルランド中央銀行。コメントの締切りは2012年12月11日


Default: Change to:


The consultation outlines the changes to be introduced in connection with the implementation of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) in July 2013. Deadline for comments is December 11, 2012.


The AIFMD has presented the Central Bank with an opportunity to redesign the framework for the regulation of non-UCITS funds. The Central Bank is proposing an approach to non-UCITS regulation which aims to turn the Irish regulations into a proportionate investment funds framework which accommodates investors across a wide spectrum of capability and sophistication.

The Central Bank sets out a number of significant changes to its current regime for the regulation of funds authorised under Irish law. These proposals will be published in a draft AIF Handbook, which will consolidate all its current rules into a single rulebook for non-UCITS funds, and which will also include a number of major changes to its current approach.

Principal among the changes is a proposal to bring an end to the current Promoter approval process. Instead, the Central Bank is proposing to place additional reliance on the Alternative Investment Fund Manager (the AIFM) which must be appointed, under the terms of the AIFMD. The consultation also develops current requirements setting out the role of directors.

The Central Bank is also flagging its intention to look at bringing what are called Exempt Unit Trusts under the regulatory umbrella. In light of the extensive discussions which have taken place in advance of the consultation and the pressing need to have as much certainty as possible about the details of the new regime at an early date, the Central Bank has decided on a short public consultation period of six weeks. Early in 2013 it will issue a response to the consultation, which will set out its stance on the policy issues raised in the consultation. A finalised rulebook will issue thereafter following a technical review.

The closing date is December 11, 2012.
