Esma Strengthens Liquidity Stress Tests for Investment Funds
September 2, 2019--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published today its final guidance regarding liquidity stress tests of investment funds- applicable to both Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS).
ESMA's guidelines require fund managers to stress test the assets and liabilities of the funds they manage. This includes redemption requests by investors which are the most common and important source of liquidity risk and could also impact financial stability. Managers of AIFs and UCITS must be aware of the liquidity risk of the funds they manage and use stress testing as a tool to mitigate this risk.
