1 Management companies Taking up your business challenges together
2 Management companies are at a crossroads At a time when many asset managers are expressing concern about pressure on margins and complex regulatory developments, management companies must find new ways of adapting to a changing environment for both UCITS and non-ucits structures. Since the advent of UCITS III, substance requirements have gradually and steadily increased. Market players have adopted various models in response to this evolution, though a common challenge underpins their choices: the increased minimum efficient operational scale for running a UCITS fund, whether via a management company or on a self-managed basis. The introduction of AIFMD not only confirms this trend but extends its application to non-ucits products. The CSSF circular 12/546 dated 24 October 2012 sets out the conditions and organisational requirements applicable to UCITS management companies and self-managed SICAVs. Key substance requirements can be summarised as follows: Proportionality: derogations to substance requirements remain possible; however, the conditions under which they can be obtained have been reiterated by the CSSF Shareholders: a sponsorship letter can be requested by the CSSF, hence reintroducing Promotership on a selective basis, with ad hoc guarantee requirements Board composition: in addition to professional experience, directors must observe a more detailed and stringent incompatibility regime Conducting officers: the new circular provides detailed qualification requirements (experience, location, availability, occupation), including scope and duties. Conducting officers must observe a more detailed and stringent incompatibility regime Central administration and internal governance: both expertise and decision-making centres should be in Luxembourg and supported by adequate human and technical infrastructure Delegation: delegation and sub-delegation both require prior CSSF approval and due diligence by the management company
3 Our multi-disciplinary offering addresses key industry challenges Growing substance requirements are just one of several forces currently impacting the Luxembourg model of fund management and governance. Overall, we can classify these forces under 4 main categories: Emphasis substance requirements Increases the minimum efficient operational scale and potentially stimulates a demand for 3 rd party providers Complex regulatory evolution Constant adaptation of the business model to complex regulatory change. The most prominent examples being AIFMD, FACTA, EMIR, UCITS V and VI Luxembourg Management Companies Governance and risk management Enhanced governance system and management of the aggregated risk exposure when operating in multiple markets and asset classes Pressure on costs Challenge of doing more with the same resources, hence triggering a search for operational efficiency and scalability Our assessment of your challenges naturally led us to develop targeted services to assist in elaborating a sustainable business model Substance Business strategy Circular 12/546 substance health check Assess the regulatory and organisational adequacy of a ManCo or a self-managed SICAV against CSSF Circular 12/546 on substance Due diligence on delegated functions Director training on financial statements Identify all the material facts likely to influence the capacity of a third party to provide proper service, in line with regulatory requirements for initial and ongoing due diligence Organise collective trainings for directors on how to review financial statements Distribution Market entry intelligence Assistance in market entry, market potential analysis, distribution intelligence and peer benchmarking Fee benchmarking and optimisation X-border fund distribution Review and optimisation of fund fees based on distribution countries and distribution partners related intelligence Assistance in reviewing distribution capabilities, operational models, remuneration strategies and potential savings from new market initiatives (e.g. Platforms, T2S and CSD s) Technology IT systems and infrastructure Selection of IT packages across the servicing value chain and definition of an IT target operating model

5 From systematic promotership to selective sponsorship Circular 12/546 and CSSF press release 12/45 have the combined effect of removing the concept of Promoter for UCITS structures The past Any fund subject to the 2002 Law (UCITS III) needed to have a Promoter, i.e. an entity that would ultimately bear financial responsibility for the fund The CSSF has traditionally imposed demanding requirements on this entity, requiring it to: -- Have at least 7.5 million in equity capital -- Be a regulated entity -- Compose the majority of the board of the fund, so as to ensure full involvement in the fund it initiates Entities that were too small or that failed to comply with the promotership requirements could avail of a co-promotership service either via a Luxembourg bank or via a third-party Luxembourg management company The present In a communication following the new circular s publication, the CSSF specified that promotership is no longer required, provided that UCITS management companies and self-managed SICAVs submit a comprehensive report describing how they will comply with Circular 12/546 (deadline is 15 April 2013) Every new fund established between the publication of the circular and 30 June 2013 must either become a compliant self-managed SICAV or designate a compliant management company The situation for Part II funds remains unchanged unless they are managed by a compliant UCITS management company The removal of promotership requirements does not prejudice the potential need for a sponsorship letter (lettre de patronage)
