AIMA Japan invites you to this seminar and networking reception on Thursday, 26 February 2026.

Asia-based fund managers and European-based managers are increasingly seeking capital from each other’s regional allocators.  Both types of allocators are demonstrating heightened demand for Asia-focused strategies and European based strategies, but the routes to accessing these capital pools are very different and need special attention as to the rules of engagement and requirements.

This session will explore options available for managers to successfully raise capital and provide valuable feedback their respective journeys raising capital.

The following will notably be discussed::

  • An overview of EEA distribution strategies (ranging from National Private Placement Regimes (NPPRs) to use of a full-fledged marketing passport)
  • AIFMD pre‑marketing, marketing, and ongoing reporting requirements
  • Distribution strategies in Japan
  • Points of attention for institutional investors and family offices (comparison between EU and Japan)
  • AML and KYC monitoring
  • Sustainable and ESG considerations
  • Digitalisation considerations

We will also have a Cayman funds update on the current popular options regarding Alternative investments funds.
