The Netherlands AIFM

The Netherlands is one of Europe’s most sophisticated fund jurisdictions, supported by a robust regulatory framework, a deep pensions ecosystem, and a mature alternative investment market. It is home to the Euronext Stock Exchange and a thriving financial services centre that includes asset management, banking and a fastgrowing fintech sector.
