4 Reverse solicitation Definition of capital raising under AIFMD The AIFMD National Private placement Regime is a mechanism allowing the marketing by AIFMs of AIFs that are not allowed to be marketed under the AIFMD domestic marketing or passporting regimes. This principally relates to the marketing of non- European Union (EU) AIFs and AIFs managed by non-eu AIFMs. Private placement Reverse solicitation or passive marketing is the marketing which is not at the direct or indirect initiative of the AIFM. Capital raising under AIFMD Distribution Marketing According to the Directive, Marketing means a direct or indirect offering or placement at the initiative of the AIFM or on behalf of the AIFM of units or shares of an AIF it manages to or with investors domiciled or with a registered office in the European Union. Distribution under the AIFMD corresponds to all the methods used to distribute notified AIFs in the EU. Page 4

7 Impact on distribution models 1 New distribution models Depending on the type of the distribution models, the impacts of MiFID II will slightly differ Typical distribution models are likely to evolve to be able to cope with the prohibition of inducements, however, some new business models will appear (for example fee-based advisers and execution only brokers in the US E*Trade and TD Waterhouse) 2 Product differentiation European investors who are accustomed to buying investment funds have the impression of receiving free advice from the distributor Due to MiFID II, clients will pay directly for independent advice. Product differentiation could be an incentive for clients to change their minds smoothly and justify the payment of a direct fee to the distributor Successful asset managers already enjoyed changes in the inducement model to launch new product lines. For instance, Vanguard decided to launch EFTs when the U.S. market began transitioning from a commission-based sales model to fees for advice. Nowadays, Vanguard ETF business has reached US$280 b of assets and is close to overtake the second position held by the State Street Global Advisers 3 Incentives for distributors The main current incentives (inducement) for distributors to sell investment products will be prohibited with MiFID II for independent advice services Product managers will need to develop new incentives to encourage distributors to sell their investment products Page 7

12 Distribution through marketing passport The marketing passport provides the right for EU AIFMs to market EU AIFs to professional investors in all Member States. Marketing of EU AIFs in EU Member States is subject to the following requirements: Marketing of an EU AIF in the home Member State of the AIFM (according to Article 31 and Annex III) Notification requirements: A notification letter identifying the AIF it intends to market and information on that AIF's place of establishment The rules or instrument of incorporation of the AIF The name of the depositary of the AIF A description of, or any information on, the AIF available to investors (e.g., an offering memorandum) If a feeder AIF, information on the place of establishment of the master AIF Any additional information required pursuant to Article 23 (disclosure to investors) and If relevant, information on the arrangements in place to prevent shares or units in the AIF from being marketed to retail investors Marketing of an EU AIF in Member States other than in the home Member State of the EU AIFM (according to Article 32 and Annex IV) Notification requirements: A notification letter identifying the AIF it intends to market and information on that AIF's place of establishment The rules or instrument of incorporation of the AIF The name of the depositary of the AIF A description of, or any information on, the AIF available to investors (e.g., an offering memorandum) If a feeder AIF, information on the place of establishment of the master AIF Any additional information required pursuant to Article 23 (disclosure to investors) Information on the type of investment strategy of the AIF (*) Indication of the Member State in which it intends to market the units or shares of the AIF and Information about arrangements made for marketing of the AIFs and information on the arrangements in place to prevent shares or units in the AIF from being marketed to retail investors ( ) as set forth in Commission Regulation 231/2013 Page 12
13 Retail distribution under Article 43 of AIFMD Marketing to retail investors remains subject to each Member State s specific requirements which may be allowed: Whether AIFs are marketed on a domestic or cross-border basis and Whether they are EU or non-eu AIFs According to Article 43 of the AIFMD, each EU Member State may impose stricter requirements applicable to the AIFs marketed to professional investors. However, Member States shall not impose stricter or additional requirements on EU AIFs established in another Member State and marketed on a cross-border basis than on AIFs marketed domestically. Member States allowing the marketing of AIFs to retail investors had to inform the European Commission and ESMA by 22 July 2014, of: The types of AIFs of which AIFMs may market to retail investors in their territory and Any additional requirements that the Member States impose for the marketing of AIFs to retail investors Page 13

17 Third countries access under AIFMD: threat or opportunities Page 17
18 AIFMD opening to third countries Key topics Issues identified by ESMA relating to functioning of the EU AIFMD passport: Divergent approaches with respect to marketing rules Divergent definitions of what constitutes a professional investor Varying interpretations of what activities constitute marketing and material changes under the AIFMD passport Issues identified by ESMA relating to functioning of the NPPRs: No common rules Duplicating of filing/reporting obligations Concentration of investment opportunities in certain jurisdictions ESMA approach when considering extension of AIFMD passport Possible suppression of NPPRs Business opportunities Page 18
19 AIFMD opening to third countries (1/2) Non-EU country Cooperation Investor protection No significant market disruptions No obstacles for competition Monitoring of systematic risk ESMA conclusion USA ESMA would have benefited from more time to assess investor protection Uneven level playing field Extensive reporting obligations but different from AIFMD Delay decision Guernsey Jersey Hong Kong Incomplete information Unclear whether level playing field Delay decision Switzerland Upon implementation of SESTA as from 1 January 2016 Singapore Scarce and incomplete information ESMA would have benefited from more time to assess investor protection Barriers to entry Not enough evidence Delay decision Page 19
20 AIFMD opening to third countries (2/2) Non-EU country Cooperation Investor protection No significant market disruptions No obstacles for competition Monitoring of systematic risk ESMA conclusion Australia Expectations of good supervisory cooperation based on previous engagements Difficult to predict in the long term Bermuda Scarce information ESMA has no definitive advice until final version Delay decision Canada Cayman Islands Scarce information No final advice can be provided by ESMA No final advice can be provided by ESMA Delay decision Isle of Man Scarce information Delay decision Japan Page 20
21 Current status AIFMD opening to third countries ESMA gathered intelligence on investor protection, competition, potential market disruption and monitoring of systemic risk with respect to the following non-eu countries: a. Malaysia b. Egypt c. Chile d. Peru e. India f. China g. Taiwan No assessment has been done yet by ESMA on these countries because: No Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between those non-eu supervisory authorities and ESMA The current level of activity by entities from these countries within the EU did not justify a detailed assessment at this stage Page 21
22 Voting question Do you consider third countries access to the EU market as a threat for UCITS and AIFs? For both For UCITS only For AIFs only For none of them Page 22
