Nouvelles méthodes de transmission des notifications et dé-notifications de gestion avec un passeport européen pour les GFI domiciliés au Luxembourg (uniquement en anglais)

Following the communiqué published on 19 March 2026, the CSSF would like to inform the supervised entities concerned that the eDesk module for cross-border management notifications and de-notifications with a European passport is now available for Luxembourg-domiciled IFMs.

As a reminder, the supervised entities concerned are:

• UCITS management companies that, in accordance with Chapter 15 of the Law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investment (the "2010 Law"), wish to pursue in another Member State, the activities for which they have been authorised, either via the establishment of a branch or under the freedom to provide services (FPS). This includes the management of a UCITS established in another Member State (Articles 114 and 115 of the 2010 Law);
• Authorised AIFMs that, in accordance with Article 5 of the Law of 12 July 2013 on alternative investment fund managers (the "2013 Law"), intend to manage, either directly (FPS) or via the establishment of a branch, EU AIFs (authorised or not) established in another Member State and/or to provide in another Member State the services referred to in Article 5(4) of the 2013 Law for which they has been authorised (Article 32 of the 2013 Law).

As of 22 April 2026, these entities must transmit notification and de-notification files to the CSSF either directly via the eDesk Portal or via the CSSF API solution (S3 technology).

The eDesk Portal can be accessed at https://edesk.apps.cssf.lu/edesk-dashboard/dashboard/getstarted. The relevant procedure is the "IFM Cross-border Management Notifications Tool".

Please note that the subsequent monitoring of these notifications will be carried out exclusively via the eDesk Portal.

Additional information and instructions can be found in the dedicated user guide: IFM Guidelines on cross-border management notification and de-notification procedures.

For any questions, please contact our helpdesk at [email protected].

Finally, the CSSF takes this opportunity to remind the supervised entities concerned that they should notify the CSSF of all the activities and services they intend to provide on a cross-border basis, regardless of whether these activities and services will be provided under the free provision of services or via the establishment of a branch.
