ESMA consults on AIFMD asset segregation requirements
December 1, 2014--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published today a consultation paper on the AIFMD asset segregation requirements.
This consultation paper sets out ESMA's proposals for possible guidelines regarding the asset segregation requirements in case of delegation of safe-keeping duties by the appointed depositary of an AIF.
The depositary provisions-and, in particular, those on asset segregation -are a key aspect of the AIFMD framework and are aimed at improving investor protection. ESMA sees merit in further fostering convergence among supervisors across Europe on these provisions.
