Question

For financial products falling under Article 8 or 9 SFDR, where the financial market participant making available those products is a registered AIFM which has not set up a website, must that registered AIFM establish a website in order to comply with Article 10 of SFDR and Chapter IV of the SFDR Delegated Regulation for those financial products

Answer

The registered AIFM is responsible for the disclosure requirements of Article 10 of the SFDR in relation to the relevant financial products it offers as a financial market participant. In this respect, the registered AIFM must ensure that all relevant information pursuant to Article 10 of the SFDR is made available on its website. This may include the financial product’s own website or the website of the group to which the registered AIFM belongs if such website corresponds to the website of the AIFM. If there is no website, then the AIFM should establish a website in order to comply with Article 10 of the SFDR. In any case, the information pursuant to Article 10 of the SFDR must be easily accessible to investors, should be kept up to date, and any revisions or changes to such information should be clearly explained (see Recital 26 and Article 12 of the SFDR and Article 2 of the SFDR Delegated Regulation).
