On November 4, the FCA published a statement on reporting requirements for managers of AIFs (AIFMs) under the AIFMD.

In certain circumstances, firms already authorized as AIFMs will be required to provide regulatory reports to the FCA in the first quarter of 2014, using the XML v1.0 reporting template, which was published by ESMA in October 2013.

Further details on the reporting mechanism are due to be published on the FCA website in due course.  Statement.
