End-to-end management of process and systems delivered by IQ-EQ
Annex IV reporting is a regulatory requirement under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), obliging alternative investment fund managers to submit detailed disclosures about their funds, including assets, strategies, risks, and exposures, to national regulators. This process enhances transparency and regulatory oversight and must be tailored to the specific requirements of each jurisdiction.
When a fund manager seeks to expand their marketing efforts across the UK and Europe, they are faced with the challenge of integrating Annex IV reporting into their existing operations. The reporting is a recurring regulatory requirement, with each reporting cycle (recurring quarterly, semi-annually or annually, dependent on the size of the AIF, its investment strategy, and whether leverage is employed) bringing tight deadlines and significant resource demands, often requiring rapid data aggregation and validation across multiple funds and jurisdictions. This can place considerable strain on internal teams and divert attention from core investment activities.
Our team provides an end-to-end solution, seamlessly incorporating our reporting service as part of a comprehensive fund administration package or as a standalone offering. We can file Annex IV reports in single or multiple jurisdictions as required, and we liaise directly with regulators to address any reporting nuances or jurisdictional complexities.
Through close collaboration with both in-house and outsourced teams, we ensure that all submissions are accurate and timely. Our technology platform enables jurisdiction-specific compliance, streamlined data collection and validation, providing scalable delivery across a diverse range of fund types and structures. It also continuously updates to reflect the latest regulatory changes, ensuring your reports remain compliant with evolving requirements without additional effort from your team. This approach not only simplifies regulatory obligations but also allows the manager to focus on core investment activities, confident in the knowledge that their reporting requirements are being met efficiently and effectively.
To deliver a seamless Annex IV reporting experience, our approach combines regulatory expertise with a structured, technology-driven workflow. This process is built around three core stages, outlined below, each designed to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and compliance at every step:
1. Data ingestion
- Client provides static data during onboarding
- Client provides movements file each reporting period for only the updated NAV
- We assess data sources to identity opportunity for efficiency through process improvement and automation
2. Report production
- We authenticate each report against regulatory validations
- We provide a pdf report for your review and sign off
3. Regulatory filing
- We handle all filings through automated system connections and uploads to regulatory systems
- We manage regulatory queries on the reports
