Mandatory notifications

Material changes

The AFM grants a licence after determining that the firm meets the licensing requirements. If anything changes in your business, it may affect the licence. Therefore, you should report material changes in a timely manner.

Examples of material changes you need to report are:

• Please send changes in respect of issues reviewed as part of the licensing process to meldingenaifmd@afm.nl

• Please send changes in respect of an investment fund managed by your firm to meldingenaifmd@afm.nl

• Acquisition or termination of a participation and/or control in a firm

• Appointment of an external appraiser or termination of such appointment

• Outsourcing of activities or termination of such outsourcing

Please use the forms you can download here or click through to the page where you will find the relevant form. There, you can find how to send the information to us.

Other types of notifications you need to make to the AFM are:

• reporting abuses and incidents, in accordance with, for example, Sections 4:11, 4:92 and 4:97 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wft). This can be reported by e-mail via meldingenaifmd@afm.nl

• pre-marketing, this can be done via the form on the page about reporting pre-marketing.

In the AFM Portal, you can also perform the notification and cancellation of investment funds and verifiable persons. Applications to grant or revoke a (partial) licence or European passports also go through the AFM Portal.
