SERVICES
AIFMD reporting support built on mapped portfolio, fund and risk data.
Coordinate Annex IV data collection, transformation, validation and evidence under authorised applicability and reporting interpretations.
Overview
AIFMD includes periodic supervisory reporting obligations for AIFMs, commonly associated with Article 24 / Annex IV data. Reporting can cover AIFs, strategies, exposures, leverage, risk and other fields depending on the manager/fund.
A specialist page below Regulatory Reporting for managers/funds in scope of European AIFMD requirements.
Why it matters
Annex IV combines fund, portfolio and risk data and becomes difficult when built manually across administrators, risk systems and spreadsheets.
Common operating challenges
- Fields sourced from multiple teams/providers.
- Definitions differ from internal metrics.
- Exposure/leverage data hard to reconcile.
- Prior filings not reusable.
- Deadline/exception visibility weak.
What we deliver
| Capability | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Applicability input | Use authorised compliance determination. |
| Field mapping | Map required fields to sources. |
| Data aggregation | Collect fund/portfolio/risk data. |
| Validation | Run cross-field/prior-period checks. |
| Review support | Prepare exceptions/movement explanations. |
| Filing-support output | Produce controlled dataset/evidence. |
Our role can be configured around a defined operating mandate: a recurring managed service, a technology-enabled client workflow, or a co-sourced model in which execution and review are split between Kelton, the client and appointed providers.
Inputs, workflow and outputs
Typical inputs
- Current Annex IV taxonomy/template
- Fund/AIFM data
- Portfolio/exposure data
- Risk/leverage data
- Prior filings
- Authorised compliance instructions
Controlled workflow
| Step | Activity | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope | Confirm population/period. |
| 2 | Map | Link fields to source. |
| 3 | Collect / calculate | Build reporting dataset. |
| 4 | Validate | Run completeness/consistency. |
| 5 | Review | Escalate material changes. |
| 6 | Hand off / archive | Prepare final support pack. |
Typical outputs
- Field/source matrix
- Draft Annex IV dataset
- Validation report
- Movement analysis
- Review checklist
- Submission evidence
Controls and review
The workflow is designed so that automation does not obscure responsibility. Routine processing can be standardised; exceptions, material judgements and formal approvals remain visible and attributable.
- Rule/version control.
- Field lineage.
- Formal AIFM/compliance sign-off.
- No interpretation invented by AI.
Responsibility boundary
We provide reporting operations; the AIFM/authorised parties retain formal interpretation, certification and filing responsibility.
Technology & expertise
Our operating model combines specialist knowledge with controlled technology. Domain experts define the rules, review logic and exception criteria; the technology layer makes the workflow repeatable, traceable and scalable.
Technology
- Regulatory mapping.
- Data pipeline.
- Validation rules.
- Versioned taxonomy.
Expertise
- AIFMD reporting operations.
- Fund/risk data mapping.
- Exception review.
Expert knowledge is converted into controlled rules, SOPs, checklists, validation tests and exception criteria so that the operating standard is embedded in the workflow rather than dependent on one individual.
Delivery models
| Model | How it works |
|---|---|
| Managed Operations | We execute the agreed recurring workflow. Client and appointed-provider approvals remain explicit. |
| Technology Enablement | We implement the data, workflow and control layer for the client team to operate. |
| Hybrid / Co-sourced | Execution and review are shared through a documented responsibility and escalation model. |
| Transition & Implementation | We mobilise the workflow during a launch, provider change or target-operating-model transition. |
Frequently asked questions
Does every AIF file Annex IV?
Obligations and frequency depend on applicable manager/fund circumstances; authorised compliance advice is required.
Can the process reuse data?
Yes. A mapped data layer should reduce repeated manual assembly.
Why show prior-period movement?
It helps identify source/definition errors before filing.
