The German finance ministry has announced new laws under which investors in open-ended funds will be bound by a minimum holding period of two years. In addition, they will be subject to notice periods ranging from six months to two years, depending on the investment fund. Funds which opt for shorter notice periods will be required to maintain more short-term liquidity.
Ares, Coima and MEAG are three investors which have closed multiple acquisitions in the last few weeks.
