Regulatory status
Registration regime and important information
This page sets out the basis on which GA Asset Management B.V. operates, and the terms on which the information on this website is provided.
Registration
GA Asset Management B.V. manages alternative investment funds under the registration regime for small managers set out in Article 2:66a of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht, Wft). The firm is entered in the register kept by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten, AFM).
The regime is open to managers whose assets under management remain below the thresholds set in Article 3(2) of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, as implemented in the Wft. A manager within those thresholds is registered rather than licensed.
What the regime means
A registered manager holds no AIFMD licence and is not subject to ongoing prudential or conduct supervision by the AFM or by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). The protections that apply to investors in funds managed by a licensed manager do not apply.
Obligations that do apply to us include registration and notification with the AFM, periodic reporting on the funds we manage, and compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft) and the Sanctions Act 1977.
Scope of activities
Our activity is the management of alternative investment funds. We do not provide investment services to the public, and we do not give investment advice.
Participations in the funds we manage are made available only to investors who qualify under the exemptions that apply to us, and only on the basis of the relevant fund documentation. That documentation, and not this website, governs any investment.
Website information
- Nothing on this website is an offer, invitation or recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument, or to subscribe for participations in any fund.
- Nothing on this website is investment, legal or tax advice, and it takes no account of the circumstances of any individual reader.
- No performance information is published on this website.
- Statements about our approach describe how we work at the date shown and may change without notice.
- The information is intended for readers in the Netherlands. It is not directed at any person in a jurisdiction where publishing or using it would be contrary to local law.
Investment risk
Investing carries risk. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise, and an investor may not get back the amount invested. Systematic strategies, long/short equity exposure, derivatives and leverage each carry particular risks, which the relevant fund documentation describes.
Questions and complaints
Questions about our regulatory position, and any complaint about our conduct, can be sent to office@gaam.nl. We acknowledge complaints in writing and record how they are handled.
