<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) II is set to redefine the landscape for loan-originating funds. Luxembourg&#8217;s draft bill 8628 has officially started the clock, outlining how these new pan-European rules will be integrated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For managers using flexible vehicles like the Special Limited Partnership (SCSp), the changes are not just compliance points; they are strategic imperatives that will reshape legal agreements and fund operations. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Key transformations include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Hard-Coded Strategy Constraints</strong>: New rules impose a 5% risk retention requirement, leverage caps (175% for open-ended, 300% for closed-ended funds), and a 20% concentration limit for certain financial borrowers.</li>



<li><strong>The LPA as the New Focus</strong>: These regulatory limits must be meticulously drafted into the Limited Partnership Agreement (LPA), directly impacting negotiations between General and Limited Partners on everything from risk factors to the distribution waterfall.</li>



<li><strong>Enhanced Substance &amp; Operations</strong>: The directive codifies substance requirements and mandates formal policies for credit risk and portfolio management, bringing private credit operations closer to traditional fund models.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The full analysis of how to navigate this new framework is available in the episode &#8220;AIFMD II: Loan-Originating Funds and the SCSp in Luxembourg&#8221;. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AIFMD II : Loan-Originating Funds et la SCSp au Luxembourg</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La directive sur les gestionnaires de fonds d&#8217;investissement alternatifs (AIFMD) II va redéfinir le paysage des fonds de prêt. Le projet de loi luxembourgeois 8628 a officiellement lancé le compte à rebours, précisant comment ces nouvelles règles paneuropéennes seront intégrées.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pour les gérants utilisant des véhicules flexibles comme la société en commandite spéciale (SCSp), les changements sont des impératifs stratégiques qui refaçonneront les contrats et les opérations des fonds. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les points clés incluent :</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Contraintes stratégiques directes</strong> : Les nouvelles règles imposent une rétention du risque de 5 %, des plafonds de levier (175 % pour les fonds ouverts, 300 % pour les fonds fermés) et une limite de concentration de 20 % pour certains emprunteurs financiers.</li>



<li><strong>Le contrat social au centre des attentions</strong> : Ces limites doivent être méticuleusement intégrées dans le contrat social (LPA), impactant les négociations entre associés commandités et commanditaires.</li>



<li><strong>Substance et opérations renforcées</strong> : La directive formalise les exigences de substance et impose des politiques de gestion du risque de crédit, rapprochant les opérations de &#8220;private credit&#8221; des modèles de fonds traditionnels.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">L&#8217;analyse complète est disponible dans l&#8217;épisode « AIFMD II : Loan-Originating Funds et la SCSp in Luxembourg ». </p>
