Pursuant to Decree no. 2014-485 dated May 14, 2014, conditions
for cross-border marketing of Alternative Investment Funds
("AIFs") is clarified, whether on the basis of the
passport or not (in the latter case pursuant to Article 42 of the
Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive).
In a number of instances, the marketing of AIFs was subject to the
AIFM complying with rules applicable to French asset managers,
whether arising from the AIFMD or French law. This criterion was
extremely broad and has been narrowed to compliance with the
provisions set out in the AIFMD only.
