    1. The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) puts in place a comprehensive frame-work for the regulation of alternative investment fund managers within Europe.

      2a. Directive 2011/61/EU, which was adopted in 2011. It is a ‘framework’ Level 1 Directive which has been supplemented by technical delegated and implementing measures.

      2b. Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2013, Commission Regulation (EU) No 447/2013 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 448/2013.

    Date 25/03/2014

    Good afternoon – and thank you for inviting me to speak here today.  

    The panel is focusing on issues and policies affecting global systemically important insurers (G-SIIs) after designation - and I’ve been asked to focus specifically on challenges. But before I do, I’d like to take a step back and first set the scene - in my capacity as Chair of the Financial Stability Committee (FSC) - for the work that the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) is delivering, and why it is so important.
