Goal
To guide the development and implementation of a public affairs programme that ensures European regulators and policy makers are aware of the contribution and importance of non-listed real estate investment to economic growth and job creation in Europe. The committee also actively supports the engagement of the INREV public affairs team in Brussels with stakeholders to promote the interests of the industry in regulatory consultations and policy initiatives.
Key Objectives
- Regulatory and policy initiatives - monitor and provide input on proposed regulations and policy initiatives and promote the interests of the industry in public consultations; major regulatory and policy initiatives currently include the Solvency II Directive, AIFMD (the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive), EU Merger Regulations, the Capital Markets Union and Brexit.
- Training and events - support INREV in organising and providing expert content for the Regulatory Update, Risk Management and Tax and Legal Aspects of Fund Structuring courses and other INREV events and training courses that include regulatory-related topics.
- Information - keep INREV members up to date on important regulatory developments, for example through snapshots, monthly Briefing calls, articles and speaking at events.
- Know-how - assess the impact of proposed and existing regulations to keep INREV members informed of their business impacts and act as a platform to share expertise with national and EU regulators.
Committee members are selected on the basis of their knowledge of the non-listed real estate industry and European regulations and policy initiatives impacting it; this expertise enables INREV to educate and inform its members as well as European policy makers, as they develop proposed regulations that could impact the non-listed real estate funds industry.
