Can a Finnish management function be transferred?

AIFM authorisations are not typically sold in isolation, but the management function can often be transferred to another FIN-FSA-authorised AIFM with regulatory engagement.

Is there any cost to the seller?

No. There is no fee, retainer or success commission payable by the seller. Our fees are borne by the acquiring counterparty.

FIN-FSA — Finland

AIFMD fund acquisitions in Finland.

Q: Do you acquire Finnish real estate and private equity AIFs?

Yes. We consider Finnish AIFs across real estate, private equity, forestry, infrastructure, private debt and multi-strategy mandates.

Finland has a compact but well-run AIF market centred on Helsinki, with activity in real estate, private equity, forestry, infrastructure and private debt. Many Finnish AIFs are modest in size and now face the same fixed regulatory cost base as far larger vehicles following AIFMD II, SFDR and expanded reporting duties.

When sellers in Finland call us

Common situations we see in the FIN-FSA market.

A Finnish AIF carries a fixed cost base that has become disproportionate to its assets under management.

Fundraising has slowed and the vehicle is harder to grow to a viable scale.

The manager is preparing for succession or wishes to concentrate on other strategies.

A non-core or single-purpose structure is no longer commercially active and a wind-down is being considered.
