KAGB
Kapitalanlagegesetzbuch: the German Capital Investment Code that transposes the EU AIFMD into German law and sets the framework for German alternative investment funds and their managers.
KAGB explained
The Kapitalanlagegesetzbuch is the German investment code that implements the European alternative investment fund framework in German law. It governs how funds and their managers are authorised, structured and supervised in Germany, and it is the reference point for any manager marketing or operating a vehicle there.
How it works in practice
- The German regime is recorded where a vehicle or its marketing touches Germany.
- Manager authorisation status and permitted activities are documented.
- Reporting obligations are maintained on a supervised calendar.
Common mistake
Treating the European framework as uniform. National implementation adds requirements that vary by member state.
Why it matters in private capital
KAGB sits inside a chain of decisions that runs from sourcing through diligence, investment committee, portfolio monitoring and LP reporting. When each stage lives in a different tool, the evidence behind the decision is rebuilt at every handover. Keeping the concept on one record is what makes the fund able to explain, not just report, what it did.
How Reuben AI handles KAGB
Reuben AI is one platform for the full private capital workflow. Deal intake and screening at /deal-flow-management, diligence and IC memos at /ic-memo-software, portfolio monitoring and LP reporting at /lp-reporting-software all read from the same record, so KAGB does not need to be re-entered per tool. Pricing is at /pricing.
