Alan Picone, managing director of Kinetic Partners (Luxembourg) Management Company, said: "Kinetic Partners is proud to become the first Advisory and Consulting group to be awarded an AIFM licence by the CSSF in Luxembourg.

"This is a key milestone in the development of Kinetic Partners’ Luxembourg office. Any manager outsourcing AIF obligations to a third-party AIFM as a result of AIFMD can have confidence that with our strong track record in the fund and wider financial services industry, Kinetic Partners can offer industry-leading and cost effective solutions."

Julian Korek, CEO at Kinetic Partners said: "This capability allows us to offer our fund clients a full range of services to meet the needs of the AIFMD. The directive will have a significant impact on asset managers and many are currently looking for ways to offset this burden. Our service reassures managers with the knowledge that their compliance and marketing is being handled by an experienced third party.

"I am proud that we are the first advisory and consulting group to be granted this licence and it is testament to the hard work of the team that we have achieved this. We are constantly looking at how to expand the range of services we offer to our clients and we know that conforming with regulations is a key concern."
