AIFMD and depositary

The AL&C Fund (the AIF) and its Fund Manager (Amvest REIM B.V., the AIFM) are fully within the scope of the AIFM Directive. The Fund Manager obtained its AIFM licence on 26 November 2014. Besides the AL&C Fund, the Fund Manager also manages the Amvest Residential Core Fund and De Utrechtse Fondsen Vastgoed C.V.

The Fund Manager has appointed Intertrust Depositary Services B.V. to act as depositary for the AL&C Fund and has entered into a depositary services agreement with the depositary for the benefit of the AL&C Fund and its Investors in accordance with article 4:37f AFS. The depositary is responsible for the supervision of certain aspects of the Fund’s business in accordance with applicable law and the depositary services agreement.

On 23 December 2016, Amvest REIM B.V. as AIFM filed a request to register the AL&C Fund as an AIF under the licence of Amvest REIM B.V. This was approved by the Dutch Financial Markets Authority (AFM) on 23 January 2017.

Professional liability (Article 9(7) AIFMD)

To cover potential professional liability risks resulting from activities carried out by the Fund Manager, AIFMD provides the Fund Manager with two options:

  • Hold additional funds which are appropriate in relation to the potential risks arising from professional negligence; or

  • Carry a professional indemnity insurance against liabilities related to professional negligence, which is appropriate in relation to the potential risks.

The Fund Manager selected the first option when setting up the AL&C Fund. The amount of the additional funds is calculated in accordance with criteria set out in the AIFM Directive and discussed with the Dutch Central Bank (DNB).

At the close of every quarter, the Fund Manager recalculates the value of the portfolio (one of the AIFMD criteria) to determine if significant increases have occurred. If this is the case, the Fund Manager recalculates the additional own funds required without undue delay and adjusts the additional own funds accordingly.

The Fund Manager ensures that the additional own funds are held in cash on the balance sheet of the Fund Manager.

Leverage: Gross and commitment method (Article 109(3) Level II)

For the purpose of AIFMD (report to competent authorities), the leverage of the Fund is expressed as the ratio between the exposure of the Fund and its NAV. The Fund Manager calculates the exposure of the funds managed in accordance with the gross method and the commitment method. AIFMD stipulates a limit of three for the leverage.

Leverage - gross method: (total of assets + notional contract value derivatives -/- cash) / (INREV NAV). Leverage - gross AL&C Fund:

(467,166 + 0 -/- 11,231) / 458,623 = 0.99.

Leverage - commitment method: (total of assets) / (INREV NAV). Leverage - commitment AL&C Fund:

467,166 / 458,623 = 1.02.
