Many hedge fund managers made their first AIFMD Annex IV filing in January 2015.  That process generated actionable lessons for hedge fund managers that can be grouped into three disciplines: regulation, data and logistics.  On February 18, 2015, the Hedge Fund Law Report and Advise Technologies sponsored a panel discussion addressing lessons from the January 2015 filing in each of these three disciplines.  Simon Whiteside, a partner at Simmons & Simmons LLP, addressed regulation; Stefanie Kirchheimer, a director at PricewaterhouseCoopers, discussed data; and Jeanette Turner, Managing Director and General Counsel for Advise, focused on logistics; HFLR Publisher Mike Pereira moderated.  This article conveys insights from the panel on Annex IV filing logistics, technical issues and clarifications from regulators.  A prior article covered reporting obligations, data, calculations and interpretations.  See also “Seven Tips and Lessons Learned from January 2015 AIFMD Filers,” Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 8, No. 6 (Feb. 12, 2015); “Key Pain Points in AIFMD Annex IV Reporting and Proven Strategies for Surmounting Them,” Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 7, No. 44 (Nov. 20, 2014).
