AIFM autorisations & registrations

Additional CSSF forms for AIFMs authorisations and registration as well as for material change of an existing authorised AIFM

On 19 January 2023, the CSSF issued a communication announcing two notification templates in addition to the current application forms to be completed and submitted to the CSSF.

The first form should be completed by all Luxembourg legal persons whose regular activity includes managing one or several AIFs when requesting their authorisation or registration as AIFM and should include the category applied for, the investment strategies, their scope in respect of the activity of central administration and/or registrar agent, and transfer agent or with respect to MiFID services. This form shall apply to any authorised AIFM or registered AIFM including for instance the managing general partner of an AIF acting as registered AIFM.

The above information would also be requested in a second form in case of amendments to an existing authorised AIFM which are considered as material changes, such as, the change in denomination, change in governance, corporate actions, change of documentation or change of shareholder. This form shall only apply to authorised AIFMs.
