On July 23, 2015, the European Securities and Markets Authority published proposed guidelines on sound remuneration policies under the Undertakings for the Collective Investment of Transferable Securities Directive, known as UCITS V. A minor revision of the guidelines on sound remuneration policies under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, known as AIFMD, is also proposed. The proposed UCITS V guidelines are based on the Guidelines on sound remuneration practices developed under AIFMD. ESMA intends to publish a final report and guidelines in Q1 2016 ahead of the implementation deadline for the UCITS V Directive of March 18, 2016. The consultation is open until October 23, 2015.
The consultation paper is available at: http://www.esma.europa.eu/news/ESMA-consults-UCITS-remuneration-guidelines?t=326&o=home
