DNB / AFMthe Netherlands

AIFMD fund acquisitions in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands hosts a substantial AIFM base, including Dutch AIFs, FGRs and Dutch limited partnerships used for private equity, real estate and infrastructure. Dutch managers are navigating AIFMD II substance rules, DORA implementation and the rising cost of maintaining a fully regulated platform.

The manager of a Dutch private equity or real estate structure is preparing for succession or exit.

03

The AIFM licence is held by a small manager that would prefer to transfer management to a larger platform.

04

Investors have approved a wind-down, but the manager wants to explore a value-preserving sale first.
