Webinar’s Overview

• Further to the Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) Law of 2018, and the European Alternative Investment Funds Managers Directive of 2011, Cyprus became one of the most cost-effective and advantageous jurisdictions for the establishment of investment funds, offering great opportunities for fund managers to structure and grow their business in Europe and beyond. This has increased the demand for the registration of said funds in Cyprus, making the jurisdiction one of the stronger hubs for Funds in the region. Appropriate risk management systems need to be maintained by all AIFs to enable them to identify, measure, manage and duly monitor the risks related to the positions that they undertake and the contribution of these positions to their overall risk profile.
