Mismatch between perception and reality
for alternative UCITS?
Perception
Reality
Alternative UCITS offer liquidity
We will get the answer during the next
financial crisis
UCITS are designed for retail
investors
Sure – then do retail investors
understand alternative UCITS?
Alternative UCITS are better than
traditional hedge funds
Not all strategies can be replicated
UCITS are easy to register in Asia
Regulators can have different
authorization processes when it
comes to UCITS using derivatives
Alternative UCITS have an edge vs
AIFs
AIFs target the right segment
From Newcits to Alternative UCITS to…UCITS & AIFs?
Fonds d’investissement alternatif réservé
(FIAR)

The FIAR regime will basically replicate the FIS regime, except that
 the FIAR will not be subject to CSSF supervision
 the FIAR will have to appoint a duly authorised (Lux or EU) external AIFM
Great flexibility and reduced time to market as compared to FIS

Optional regime (tax and regulatory) if investment in risk capital

Simultaneous restriction of the definition of eligible assets (valeurs) for FIS?

Fonds d’investissement alternatif réservé
(FIAR)

FIAR /sub-funds subject to risk diversification requirements
 Application of CSSF circular 07/309 ?
 FIAR /sub-funds investing exclusively in risk capital are not subject to any risk
diversification requirements and may opt in for the SICAR tax regime

FIAR must be managed by an authorised and external AIFM

FIAR must draw up an offering memorandum

Establishment in front of a public notary

Mention of FIAR establishment must be published in the Mémorial with an indication
of the AIFM
