As part of its digital transformation strategy, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) has introduced new transmission methods for AIFM reporting, effective 31 January 2024. These changes aim to streamline regulatory submissions and improve data security for Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs).

At Funds-Axis, we’re actively integrating these updates into our Galaxy Regulatory Reporting Platform, ensuring our clients remain compliant and future-ready.

What’s Changing?

From 31 January 2024, AIFMs can submit their reports via a new eDesk procedure, offering a more direct and secure communication channel with the CSSF.

This enhancement builds on the API solution launched on 2 November 2023, which enables professionals to exchange data directly with the CSSF – bypassing external transmission channels.

Technical Guidance Available

The CSSF has published a comprehensive user guide detailing the new transmission methods.

  • Technical specifications for API integration
  • Validation rules and schema requirements

Transition Timeline

While the new channels are now available, the CSSF has confirmed that external transmission channels will remain operational until 30 June 2024. This gives firms a transition window to adapt their systems and processes.
