Guide to marketing AIFs in Europe

10 Jul 2023

Europe represents the second largest capital pool in the world after the U.S., making it a highly appealing target for non-EU alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) once they have reached a certain size in their domestic market.

However, EU regulators are increasing their scrutiny of the marketing and distribution of alternative investment funds (AIFs) – in particular, the use of reverse solicitation, which has long been the go-to strategy for U.S. managers.

For non-EU AIFMs of private equity, real estate, debt/credit, hedge and other AIFs, selecting how to market to EU professional investors is an important decision requiring careful consideration of the options available.

In IQ-EQ’s new guide to marketing AIFs in Europe, we explain the benefits and drawbacks of each of the key options that U.S. and other non-EU managers have to raise capital in Europe, including when and how to use each route:
