The course covers the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive as it applies to a UK manager: the onshored regime in force today, what AIFMD II changed in the EU, and what the FCA and the Treasury have proposed for the UK. Material that is EU law, or that is only a proposal, is labelled as such wherever it appears.
It is educational material, not legal or compliance advice, and no substitute for advice on a particular firm or fund. It was written in September 2026, and rules move: check the Handbook text and the legislation themselves before you rely on any of it.
