The Effects of AIFMD 2 on Private Credit, Finascope

Partner Clément Vandevooghel and associate Agathe Llorens co-authored an article for Finascope examining the impact of AIFMD 2 on the private credit market and the evolving regulatory framework for alternative investment fund managers. The article explores how the revised directive introduces a more harmonised regime for loan-originating funds, including new requirements on risk management, leverage, and governance, as well as enhanced supervisory expectations across the European Union.
