Annex IV

Langham Hall consultants discussing Annex IV reporting for global fund managers

We prepare and file Annex IV reports for global fund managers marketing funds in Europe, supporting EU, UK and other non-EU managers across private equity, real estate, debt and infrastructure, reducing reporting burden and execution risk so teams can stay focused on investing and performance.

What we do

Under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), non-EU managers using the National Private Placement Regime (NPPR), and EU or EEA managers marketing relevant funds, must submit Annex IV transparency reports to the regulator in the jurisdictions where marketing takes place. Reporting may be required annually, semi-annually or quarterly depending on the manager and fund profile.

Annex IV reports are formed of two components:

• AIFM reports; a consolidated view of assets managed

• AIF reports; fund-level reporting covering assets held, risk exposures and investor profile

We support managers in confirming which mandates apply, mapping jurisdictional requirements and compiling the information required to file accurately across one or multiple regulators.
