What if the alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) of the reserved alternative investment fund (RAIF):

has voluntarily withdrawn;
is removed by the RAIF;
is no longer authorised; or
is insolvent.

The directors or managers of the RAIF or its management company must take all necessary measures in order to replace the AIFM by another compliant AIFM.

What if the AIFM has not been replaced within 2 months as from the withdrawal of the AIFM?

The directors or managers of the RAIF or of its management company shall, within 3 months following the withdrawal of the AIFM, request the District Court dealing with commercial matters (Tribunal d’arrondissement siégeant en matière commerciale) to pronounce the dissolution and liquidation.
