A specialised investment fund (“SIF”) that qualifies as an alternative investment fund (“AIF”) is generally required to appoint an alternative investment fund manager (“AIFM”).

The AIFM must either be:

an AIFM established in Luxembourg authorised pursuant to the law of 12 July 2013 on alternative investment fund managers (the “AIFM Law”) ; or,
an AIFM established in another EU Member State; or in,
a third country authorised under Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (The “AIFM Directive”).
