Thesis
The term 'ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUND MANAGER' (AIFM) refers to a regulated entity responsible for managing alternative investment funds (AIFs), particularly within the European Union under the AIFMD. They operate under a legally defined investment thesis that dictates deal types and is critical for attracting investors. Common areas of focus include private equity, real estate, private credit, hedge funds, infrastructure, and venture capital, with strategies typically involving active management for returns uncorrelated with traditional markets. While AUM and fund sizes vary significantly, with examples like Brookfield Asset Management exceeding $1 trillion, the 'check size' per deal is determined by the specific fund managed. AIFMs are typically based in or licensed by European regulators like Ireland and Luxembourg, facilitating cross-border distribution. The concept originated with the AIFMD, implemented in 2013 to enhance investor protection and market transparency.
