L3A responds to ESMA Discussion Paper on the integrated collection of funds’ data

Preamble:

The initiative to integrate the collection of funds’ data goes beyond merely addressing technical issues; it represents a strategic push for regulatory simplification that will shape the European reporting landscape for the next decade.

By participating at this stage, L3A and its members aim to prevent regulatory misalignment, reduce the risk of excessive implementation costs, and ensure the development of a framework that is both operationally feasible and future-proof.

This Discussion Paper will be of interest to stakeholders involved in supervisory and statistical reporting. Specifically, it targets alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs), UCITS management companies, UCITS investment firms, and branches of both EU and non-EU fund managers. It is also relevant to industry associations and any other entities involved in the reporting process or affected by its outcomes.

The L3A response is now online and available to consult on the ESMA website here : Discussion Paper on the integrated collection of funds’ data

This work was coordinated by the L3A Regulatory Committee. We warmly thank the Committee chairs: Norman Finster (EY) & Johannes Höring (CSC) and the committee members: Nathalie Lett & Jean-Sébastien Collard (BDO), Antonino Borgesano (Vistra), Michel Iannone (Arendt Services), for their leadership and support in preparing this contribution.
