The ILA Conducting Officer Forum was established over a decade ago and has grown from a small group of Conducting Officers to a large diverse group covering a diverse range of IFMs (UCITS Management Companies and AIFMs) including in-house and third party IFMs. The Forum offers the opportunity to share ideas and have an open discussion on industry trends, regulation and evolving best market practice. This creates a good opportunity to network and share ideas with fellow Conducting Officers in an informal manner without minutes or active working groups.

Any topics that may give rise to the need for guidance papers or other publications will be fed into a working group within ILA or one of the other industry associations as is deemed most appropriate. The Forum also works in close collaboration with the ALFI Fund Governance Forum and the ALFI Management Company Committee.

The main topics that will be discussed at this weeks’ forum are the

• Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“SFDR”),
• CSSF questionnaire on ESMA costs & fees exercise,
• potential impact from the ILP on Luxembourg’s illiquid fund sector
• status of new electronic forms
• new eDesk module
• revised notification form for NAV calculation errors
• simplification of the submission process for a new sub-fund

We would be pleased if you join us in these discussion and share your views.
