The three primary ways to distribute funds in Europe are:
Reverse solicitation - reverse solicitation is the least intrusive method and involves responding to unsolicited requests from investors.
Private placement - private placement is a common method used by U.S. managers and involves country-by-country regulation compliance.
AIFMD passport - the AIFMD passport allows managers to market their funds across the entire European Union, but is only available to those who meet specific requirements.
