CACEIS has been selected as depositary for RWB PrivateCapital Emissionshaus to comply with new obligations in the German Capital Investment Act (KAGB) relating to the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).

Norman Lemke, managing director of RWB, said: “We have selected CACEIS, a company well-known for its extensive expertise in the area of close-ended funds. We were particularly impressed by CASEIS’s migration experience, which means a rapid implementation of KAGB requirements can be ensured.”

RWB is the market leader for private equity funds of funds in Germany and has an extensive portfolio of international private equity investments with a wide range of funds of funds.”
“Due to the size of the mandate, the project required precise planning to ensure its smooth implementation. CACEIS has the necessary skill to carry out such a complex.”
