AIFMD Annex IV and Annex V reporting

Fund Managers managing an EU alternative investment fund are generally subject to the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) which is designed to enhance transparency whilst protect investors.

Annex IV and Annex V of the AIFMD requires for all authorised fund managers under such regime to report transparency information on their funds to their local regulators for each country to which they market. Reporting requirements differ by jurisdiction and fund nature and are  significantly time burdensome.

The consequences of late or incorrect reporting may be serious for investment managers. As a leading risk and compliance service provider, ZASMalta is able to assist in determining your level of reporting obligations and in turn prepare Annex IV and Annex V regulatory reports which are ready for submission.

RMICAAP/ICARA Preparation

The RMICAAP requirements in Malta focus on firms’ capital adequacy requirements on the basis of the current and future risk exposures of their business. Investment Firms licensed in the European Union are required to carry out and keep on record an ICAAP which is subject to regulatory scrutiny under the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) of the respective regulator. The recently published IFD introduces the concept of the Internal Capital and Risk Assessment (“ICARA”) process. The ICARA is similar in some respects to the current RMICAAP, though does include key differences. The new ICARA requirements will be enforced as from 26 June 2021.

COREP covers reporting requirements of market risk, credit risk, operational risk and capital adequacy ratios. These COREP requirements are directed towards Investment Services Licence Holders which qualify as investment firms under MiFID.
