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).
