Inside The Artizan Compliance Training Library
Why AIFMD II applying from 16 April 2026 still reaches a UK manager who never opted into it, and the two routes it travels down.
The valuation question an FCA examiner opens with, and the committee paper that either answers it or does not.
Delegation: the line between a permitted arrangement and a letter-box entity, drawn where the regulator draws it rather than where it is convenient.
What a depositary is actually accountable for, which matters the first time one of yours disagrees with your NAV.
AIFMD II applies from 16 April 2026. If you run a UK alternative fund manager, how much of it lands on you?
Take your best guess. Tap one.
Tools you keep. Not tips you forget.
Governance and organisational requirements
The operating model, the committees, the terms of reference and the MI that let a board govern rather than receive papers. Where responsibility actually sits when something moves.
Risk management and valuation
Functional separation, a risk framework proportionate to your permissions, and the valuation governance the FCA's private markets work now treats as a governance question rather than a finance one.
Delegation and depositaries
How far you can delegate before the regulator stops calling you the manager, what your depositary is accountable for, and what happens the first time one disagrees with your NAV.
Reporting and regulatory oversight
Annex IV, the reporting calendar, and what supervisors do with the data once they have it. Including the parts that get read closely and the parts that do not.
One email. The whole kit.

Who’s behind this
Asad Bukhory
Founder, Artizan Governance
Asad has spent two decades at the regulatory coalface, holding sole SMF16 and SMF17 roles personally and building the controls behind some of the largest balance sheets in this market. More than $850bn of client assets sit under frameworks he built, including a $700bn MiFID II build across EMEA, harmonised across seven regulators. He founded Artizan to bring that standard to the firms that need it most and can rarely reach it: the ones where the entire control function is one person.

Questions, answered
Is this actually free, and is there a catch?
It is free and there is no catch. No card, no trial. You give me a name and a work email, I send you the access link. If the emails afterwards are not useful, one click and they stop.
I am not an AIFM. Is it still worth my time?
Probably, if you manage alternatives in any form. Most of the programme is governance, valuation, delegation and reporting practice the FCA applies well beyond the AIFMD perimeter. If you run long-only UCITS and nothing else it will be less useful, and I would rather tell you that now than waste your evening.
How long does it take, and do I have to do it in one sitting?
Roughly four hours across sixteen modules, and no. It is built to be picked up and put down, which is the only realistic way anyone in this job gets through anything.
