Transatlantic asset management trends and AIFMD2 impact, live from Luxembourg

The relationship between European and U.S. asset managers is being reshaped by regulatory shifts, changing capital flows, and the growing appeal of new markets. For fund managers on both sides of the Atlantic, the opportunity to access unfamiliar markets has never been clearer, or more complicated to navigate.  Recorded live at Luxembourg's Private Equity Association flagship conference, LPEA Insights, Laurent Goyer, counsel at A&O Shearman, is joined by Elaine Hughes, US Co-Head of Funds & Asset Management to explore the forces driving convergence and divergence between the European and U.S. asset management markets.   The conversation covers:   The impact of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) and the new requirements introduced under AIFMD2 on U.S. manager participation in European markets   The latest Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory developments and their implications for non-U.S. managers  The growing appeal of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East as capital-sourcing destinations; and   The expanding debate around retail access to private fund strategies, including the question of 401(k) integration.  The episode provides a candid picture of how the transatlantic asset management landscape is shifting and where the most significant opportunities and friction points lie.
