In the Netherlands the activities of asset managers, stockbrokers and large organisations, which are active in the financial market, are governed by various regulatory authorities, such as the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (“Autoriteit Financiële Markten” or “AFM”) and the Dutch Central Bank (“De Nederlandsche Bank” or “DNB”).

Regulation performs the dual role of supervising the operations of the financial institutions or asset managers, and the products themselves. Like the markets, regulatory legislation is often subject to rapid change. At Van Benthem & Keulen, our attorneys are able to assist with any and all questions pertaining to this legislation.
They are also on hand to assist with issues of leasing, licences and/or the need for them and to be the point of contact with the relevant regulatory authority.
