The Securities Commission of The Bahamas has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) with French securities regulator the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF).
The agreement will allow Bahamas-based alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) to market and perform fund management activities for alternative investment funds (AIFs) in markets supervised by co-signatory European securities regulators.
