An AIFMD Assessment Tool helps to assess the applicability of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) to Alternative Invest Fund Managers (AIFMs).

#### Background

Within the European Economic Area (EEA), different countries have adopted the AIFMD to different extents under their respective national laws. This imposes varied obligations on AIFs and AIFMs that wish to attract investors from countries in the EEA.  

With an AIFMD Assessment Tool built on BRYTER, AIFMs can benefit from an automated workflow to find out and fulfil the requirements under different national laws that implement the AIFMD. Based on the inputs of the user, the tool automatically identifies the requirements, such as whether the AIFM needs to be authorized under the country’s laws that implement the AIFMD. The user is guided through an interactive questionnaire that collects information to assess the obligation of the AIFM. The AIFMD Assessment Tool can be adapted and customized to suit a variety of enquiries. Our [self-service application](https://bryter.com/applications/self-service-applications/) modular logic allows firms to add additional steps for automating the preparation and submission of National Private Placement Regime (NPPR) forms to the relevant authority.
