The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD II) is a central point of these developments, with most of its provisions coming into full force on April 16, 2026.\\n\\n**Key Developments and Regulatory Changes:**\\n\\n* **AIFMD II Implementation:** The revised AIFMD II framework is bringing substantial changes for EU alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs). These include strengthened risk management frameworks, specific rules for loan-originating AIFs, and updated requirements for liquidity management tools. Regulatory technical standards (RTS) supplementing AIFMD II, particularly regarding liquidity management tools, were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on February 27, 2026, and entered into force on March 2, 2026.

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD II) is a central point of these developments, with most of its provisions coming into full force on April 16, 2026.\n\n**Key Developments and Regulatory Changes:**\n\n* **AIFMD II Implementation:** The revised AIFMD II framework is bringing substantial changes for EU alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs). These include strengthened risk management frameworks, specific rules for loan-originating AIFs, and updated requirements for liquidity management tools. Regulatory technical standards (RTS) supplementing AIFMD II, particularly regarding liquidity management tools, were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on February 27, 2026, and entered into force on March 2, 2026. Compliance managers are actively working to adapt their strategies, internal processes, and documentation to meet these new requirements, with further enhanced reporting requirements expected to take effect in 2027.\n* **European Commission Consultations:** The European Commission initiated several targeted consultations in March 2026 as part of its broader EU Savings and Investments Union (SIU) strategy.\n * **Private Equity Exits:** A consultation launched on March 2, 2026, seeks to improve private equity exit opportunities and enhance access to capital for private companies across the EU.

ESMA finds that risks of market and systemic stress remain high despite resilient market performance in the second half of 2025.\\nOur risk assessment for the second half of 2025 has been completed well before the current shocks to the global economy from the war in the Middle East commenced in late February this year. Yet first market reactions in the EU and elsewhere to that war underline the transmission channels and sensitivities we have highlighted in our risk monitoring.\\n\\nThe likelihood of sudden and significant market price swings continues, driven by increasing geopolitical tensions, stretched equity valuations, and an uncertain economic outlook in the EU. Rising price correlations across asset classes heighten contagion risk while cyber and hybrid threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication, increasing the risk of operational disruptions in financial markets. \\n\\nVerena Ross, ESMA’s Chair, said:\\n\\n###### “The recent escalation of conflict in the Middle East continues to significantly affect markets, leading to sharp increases in energy and commodity prices, as well as elevated volatility.\\n\\n###### ESMA’s latest risk monitoring analysis highlights the potential for disorderly corrections that could spill over across markets. In this context, disciplined risk monitoring and risk management remain essential to ensure orderly markets, a core objective for ESMA.”\\n\\nBeyond the risk drivers, ESMA’s report sets out market developments and conditions across key segments of EU financial markets during the second half of 2025. It also provides deep dives on selected topics such as EU sovereign bonds’ sensitivity to unexpected events, funds’ exposure to private finance, EU listings trends, and physical risk and catastrophe bonds.\\n\\n#### Market developments\\n\\n###### Securities markets and crypto-assets\\n\\nRecord-high global equity valuations in the second half of 2025 and early 2026 increased the risk of disorderly market corrections. European sovereign bond spreads versus Germany narrowed, although liquidity weakened slightly amid macroeconomic uncertainty. At the same time, credit-quality signals in the EU remained mixed, with growing concerns especially around US private credit. The October flash crash triggered an extended sell-off in crypto markets, although stablecoins continued to grow, albeit at a slower pace. \\n\\n###### Infrastructures and services\\n\\nFinancial firms and infrastructures are increasingly targeted by cyber and hybrid threats and vulnerable to operational dependencies likely to propagate shocks. CSDs experienced a surge in settlement fails for ETFs in April, and UCITS and equities in August and September.\\n\\n###### Asset management\\n\\nEquity funds saw strong performance. This was largely driven by valuations, through increased exposure to the US market. The growth of private finance funds contributes to the funding of the real economy, but requires monitoring given opacity and interconnectedness concerns.\\n\\n###### Consumers\\n\\nAs investors continued shifting from active to passive strategies, ETF inflows remained high. The growing influence of social media on younger investors increases bubble risks, while leveraged products, such as turbos, often deliver negative returns for retail investors.\\n\\n#### Structural developments\\n\\n###### Market-based finance\\n\\nEquity issuance remained weak as IPO activity continued to decline and secondary offerings provided limited support. ESMA’s analysis found no clear evidence of rising delistings in Europe, but it highlighted a persistent downward trend in IPOs. \\n\\n###### Sustainable finance\\n\\nA cooling in global climate policy sentiment weighed on ESG investing, even as ESMA’s fund naming guidelines improved portfolio transparency. Meanwhile, rising awareness of physical climate risks drove catastrophe bond issuance to record highs in 2025, with EU funds increasingly offering exposure to these instrumen\\n<<<END_EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT id=\\\"6f2347e61232bfe9\\\">>>\"\n}"

Rising price correlations across asset classes heighten contagion risk while cyber and hybrid threats continue to grow in scale and sophistication, increasing the risk of operational disruptions in financial markets. \n\nVerena Ross, ESMA’s Chair, said:\n\n###### “The recent escalation of conflict in the Middle East continues to significantly affect markets, leading to sharp increases in energy and commodity prices, as well as elevated volatility.\n\n###### ESMA’s latest risk monitoring analysis highlights the potential for disorderly corrections that could spill over across markets. In this context, disciplined risk monitoring and risk management remain essential to ensure orderly markets, a core objective for ESMA.”\n\nBeyond the risk drivers, ESMA’s report sets out market developments and conditions across key segments of EU financial markets during the second half of 2025. It also provides deep dives on selected topics such as EU sovereign bonds’ sensitivity to unexpected events, funds’ exposure to private finance, EU listings trends, and physical risk and catastrophe bonds.\n\n#### Market developments\n\n###### Securities markets and crypto-assets\n\nRecord-high global equity valuations in the second half of 2025 and early 2026 increased the risk of disorderly market corrections. European sovereign bond spreads versus Germany narrowed, although liquidity weakened slightly amid macroeconomic uncertainty. At the same time, credit-quality signals in the EU remained mixed, with growing concerns especially around US private credit. The October flash crash triggered an extended sell-off in crypto markets, although stablecoins continued to grow, albeit at a slower pace. \n\n###### Infrastructures and services\n\nFinancial firms and infrastructures are increasingly targeted by cyber and hybrid threats and vulnerable to operational dependencies likely to propagate shocks. CSDs experienced a surge in settlement fails for ETFs in April, and UCITS and equities in August and September.\n\n###### Asset management\n\nEquity funds saw strong performance. This was largely driven by valuations, through increased exposure to the US market. The growth of private finance funds contributes to the funding of the real economy, but requires monitoring given opacity and interconnectedness concerns.\n\n###### Consumers\n\nAs investors continued shifting from active to passive strategies, ETF inflows remained high. The growing influence of social media on younger investors increases bubble risks, while leveraged products, such as turbos, often deliver negative returns for retail investors.\n\n#### Structural developments\n\n###### Market-based finance\n\nEquity issuance remained weak as IPO activity continued to decline and secondary offerings provided limited support. ESMA’s analysis found no clear evidence of rising delistings in Europe, but it highlighted a persistent downward trend in IPOs. \n\n###### Sustainable finance\n\nA cooling in global climate policy sentiment weighed on ESG investing, even as ESMA’s fund naming guidelines improved portfolio transparency. Meanwhile, rising awareness of physical climate risks drove catastrophe bond issuance to record highs in 2025, with EU funds increasingly offering exposure to these instrumen\n<<<END_EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT id=\"6f2347e61232bfe9\">>>"

The consultation runs until 27 April 2026 and must be responded to via an online questionnaire.[Show Footnote](#) It forms part of the wider Savings and Investments Union (SIU) strategy, which seeks to deepen and better integrate European capital markets, unlocking more financing opportunities for companies and supporting innovation and growth in the EU economy.[Show Footnote](#) The consultation aims to address challenges in private market liquidity, improve exit options for private equity investors and facilitate access to capital for private companies within the EU.\\n\\nThe consultation addresses concerns over declining productivity growth in the EU, which has been linked to insufficient innovation and a shortage of innovative companies. By identifying and removing investment barriers, the initiative aims to enhance the attractiveness of EU private assets and better support the growth of private companies as they progress towards public markets.\\n\\nPrivate equity investors and private companies should review the consultation and consider submitting responses via the online questionnaire before the 27 April 2026 deadline. Engagement in the consultation process would enable stakeholders to participate in the shaping of future exit routes and improving access to capital in the EU private equity market.\\n\\n### Background and policy rationale\\n\\nThe consultation is rooted in the findings of the 2024 Draghi report,[Show Footnote](#) which identified insufficient innovation and a lack of innovative companies as a principal cause of the decline in EU productivity growth. As a remedy, the Draghi report called for an increase in private investment to strengthen the EU's capacity to innovate and grow. The SIU strategy, presented in the Commission Communication of 19 March 2025, responded to this diagnosis by seeking to unlock more financing opportunities for EU companies, including through deeper and better-integrated capital markets.\\n\\nA key observation underlying this consultation is the growing trend of companies choosing to remain private for longer, whether to retain control over their development, limit competitive disclosure or for other strategic reasons. This poses a particular challenge for existing private equity investors, as an IPO may no longer be a straightforward exit option when companies remain private for an indefinite period. The Commission notes that, despite some improvement in the ratio of divestment at cost in 2025, private equity investors continue to find it generally difficult to exit their investments. From an EU competitiveness and access-to-finance perspective, this matters because it may constrain the scale-up phase of firms and increase reliance on bank financing, which may not always be suitable for high-growth business models.\\n\\nThe lack of suitable exit options is frequently cited as one of the main reasons for the underdevelopment of venture, growth and private equity funds in the EU. The illiquidity of private markets may make private equity less appealing to limited partners, and high-growth companies may be prompted to move abroad in search of funding, creating economic security concerns about foreign takeover. This risk may be particularly relevant in the fragmented EU market, where cross-border capital raising and secondary transactions remain more complex than in other major jurisdictions.\\n\\n### Focus of the consultation\\n\\nThe consultation identifies limited and costly exit options for private equity investors, illiquidity in private markets and fragmented cross-border conditions as key factors constraining the scale-up phase of firms and deterring institutional capital from investing in EU private assets.\\n\\nThe consultation is targeted mainly at private equity investors and private companies and is structured in three main parts:\\n\\n- Challenges for private equity exits and attracting private equity investors in the EU.\\n\\n- A potential EU framework for an intermittent multilateral secondary trading platform for private company shares.\\n\\n- Possible use of such a platform for raising fresh equity capital.\\n\\n### Breaking down the barriers to private equity investment and exits\\n\\nIn Part I of the consultation, the Commission examines which challenges EU investors encounter when attempting to exit their investments in private companies. It further explores whether these challenges impact the ability of private equity and growth companies to secure funding at the outset. Currently, sales of shares in private companies are organised on a bilateral basis, with sellers or the company itself reaching out to potential buyers through private networks or broker-dealer services, and identification of potential buyers is often challenging.\\n\\nThe consultation also enquires about potential regulatory measures that could help address these exit-related obstacles, the costs associated with different exit strategies and, more broadly, seeks inp\\n<<<END_EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT id=\\\"16fc734ec87fd417\\\">>>\"\n}"

This risk may be particularly relevant in the fragmented EU market, where cross-border capital raising and secondary transactions remain more complex than in other major jurisdictions.\n\n### Focus of the consultation\n\nThe consultation identifies limited and costly exit options for private equity investors, illiquidity in private markets and fragmented cross-border conditions as key factors constraining the scale-up phase of firms and deterring institutional capital from investing in EU private assets.\n\nThe consultation is targeted mainly at private equity investors and private companies and is structured in three main parts:\n\n- Challenges for private equity exits and attracting private equity investors in the EU.\n\n- A potential EU framework for an intermittent multilateral secondary trading platform for private company shares.\n\n- Possible use of such a platform for raising fresh equity capital.\n\n### Breaking down the barriers to private equity investment and exits\n\nIn Part I of the consultation, the Commission examines which challenges EU investors encounter when attempting to exit their investments in private companies. It further explores whether these challenges impact the ability of private equity and growth companies to secure funding at the outset. Currently, sales of shares in private companies are organised on a bilateral basis, with sellers or the company itself reaching out to potential buyers through private networks or broker-dealer services, and identification of potential buyers is often challenging.\n\nThe consultation also enquires about potential regulatory measures that could help address these exit-related obstacles, the costs associated with different exit strategies and, more broadly, seeks inp\n<<<END_EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT id=\"16fc734ec87fd417\">>>"
