Built for the New ESMA Reporting Framework
Galaxy’s unified reporting module is built on a proven data infrastructure that seamlessly bridges alternative and retail funds. Whether you are adapting to enhanced delegation rules under AIFMD II or preparing for harmonised liquidity structures under UCITS VI, Galaxy eliminates operational complexity by consolidating data aggregation, risk calculations, and technical formats into a single workflow.
The platform handles automated data aggregation from multiple administrators and sources, performs all required calculations, and generates regulator-ready outputs in the required format. For managers navigating UCITS VI for the first time, Galaxy removes the operational friction of building that capability internally. For alternative fund managers adapting to AIFMD II, the transition is entirely straightforward, the enhanced modules are already a native part of the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions: AIFMD II, UCITS VI, and ESMA's Unified Framework
What are AIFMD II and UCITS VI regulatory reporting requirements?
AIFMD II (Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive II) and UCITS VI (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities VI) are major EU regulatory updates designed to harmonise data collection across the European investment fund sector. Under ESMA’s new unified reporting framework, both alternative and retail funds face transformed transparency standards. This integrated framework requires managers to submit detailed data covering fund-level information, security-by-security positions, leverage exposures, liquidity management tools, delegation networks, and cross-border distribution footprints.
What is changing for fund managers under the new ESMA framework?
ESMA’s unified framework replaces broad, aggregated reporting with highly granular, security-by-security position data across key portfolio dimensions. Key changes under AIFMD II and UCITS VI include standardised risk profiles for leverage and counterparty tracking, enhanced reporting on the availability and event-based usage of Liquidity Management Tools (LMTs), and strict transparency around third-party delegation arrangements, including tracking sub-delegates and internal monitoring headcounts (FTEs). Additionally, all disclosures must be compiled and submitted in a uniform technical format using ISO 20022 XML.
When do the new AIFMD II and UCITS VI reporting rules come into effect?
Draft technical standards (RTS/ITS) will undergo consultation through 2026, with final texts expected by April 2027. Following infrastructure development, live reporting to National Competent Authorities (NCAs) via the new centralized ESMA hub is anticipated to commence in 2029, followed by Phase 2 updates for Money Market Funds (MMFR).
How does the new framework affect UK fund managers?
UK-only managers are not directly in scope, as the FCA has not introduced equivalent rules. However, UK managers marketing AIFs or UCITS within the EU are directly impacted. These firms must manage the increasing divergence between UK and EU reporting templates, ensuring systems can accommodate both regulatory regimes.
What is AIFMD Annex IV reporting, and how does it relate to UCITS VI?
AIFMD Annex IV is the established standard for reporting detailed portfolio, risk, and liquidity data for alternative funds. Under the new framework, UCITS VI extends this comprehensive, granular reporting structure to traditional retail funds, elevating the data requirements for UCITS managers to match those of alternative strategies.
How does Galaxy support AIFMD II and UCITS VI regulatory reporting?
Galaxy is a cloud-based RegTech platform that handles the full AIFMD II and UCITS VI reporting workflow. It manages everything from data aggregation across multiple administrators and sources, through all required calculations including leverage, liquidity, and risk profiles, to the generation of regulator-ready outputs in ISO 20022 XML, PDF, and XLS formats. For fund managers facing these rigorous new requirements, Galaxy provides a direct path to compliance without the need to build complex reporting infrastructure from scratch.
Can Galaxy handle both AIF and UCITS reporting on a single platform?
Yes, Galaxy provides a unified environment for managing reporting across both AIF and UCITS, enabling firms to consolidate data from diverse product ranges. This allows managers to leverage the same platform infrastructure for all regulatory submissions, simplifying the reporting process for combined product lineups.
What is the Funds-Axis Managed Service for regulatory reporting?
Funds-Axis offers a managed service where experts handle data processing, validation, and submission within the Galaxy platform. This allows compliance teams to outsource technical reporting tasks, focusing on oversight while ensuring accuracy and compliance with the new regulations.
