Finnius advises fund managers with respect to all financial regulatory requirements applicable to them. These primarily consist of the regulatory frameworks of the AIFMD (including EuVECA, EuSEF and ELTIF), UCITS and MiFID II. Finnius also advises fund managers on ancillary financial regulations, such as AML/CFT, sustainability (SFDR and Taxonomy Regulation), the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), the Benchmark Regulation, PRIIPs and the Prospectus Regulation. Clients include both domestic and international fund managers active in the Netherlands as well as licensed and exempted fund managers. Finnius assists market parties with obtaining the required approvals from the regulators (the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets and Dutch Central Bank), with investigations initiated by the regulators and also maintains contacts with the regulators on behalf of clients. Finnius also regularly advises (institutional) investors on the financial regulatory consequences in relation to a potential participation in an investment fund. Finnius benefits from an excellent network of Dutch and international law firms, with which it smoothly cooperates whenever the client or the case so requires.
