ISDA Explanatory Note on Application of EMIR REFIT to Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs)

The EMIR REFIT will result in an expansion of the scope of AIFs that are considered to be a “financial counterparty” for the purposes of EMIR. ISDA have prepared an explanatory note to provide a high-level, factual overview of the effect of these changes, including the extent to which these changes might impact upon non-EU based alternative investment funds.

The note is available in English, Japanese and Korean.

Update: The note was updated on 7th June 2019 to take account of publication of the EMIR REFIT Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union on 28th May 2019.
