Regulatory position & development
Current boundaries, regulated execution and the direction of travel
Regulatory position at a glance
01
Current role
Institutional transaction architecture and capital structuring for companies, sponsors and asset owners.
02
Regulated execution
Undertaken through appropriately authorised counterparties where the transaction requires regulated investment services.
03
Future direction
Deeper capital participation only within the authorisation, governance and operating architecture applicable at that time.
01 / Current role
Transaction architecture and institutional capital structuring
J.J. Meridian Global works at the intersection of complex infrastructure, capital structure, institutional diligence and transaction architecture. Current work includes assessing complex capital situations, developing indicative capital structures, strengthening investment cases, coordinating specialist workstreams and defining pathways towards appropriate institutional counterparties.
J.J. Meridian Global is not currently authorised as an investment firm or alternative investment fund manager and does not present itself as providing regulated investment services in its own name.
The current role is centred on strategic work undertaken for companies, sponsors and asset owners. ESMA’s supervisory material distinguishes advice to undertakings on capital structure and related corporate-finance matters from investment advice made to a person in their capacity as an investor. The regulatory character of an activity still depends on what is actually done, for whom and in relation to which instruments. ESMA supervisory briefing.
02 / Regulated execution
Authorised counterparties where required
Where a transaction requires regulated investment services, those activities are undertaken through appropriately authorised counterparties. Depending on the facts, relevant services can include investment advice, receipt and transmission of orders, execution, placement, underwriting and investment management.
J.J. Meridian Global therefore separates its own analytical, strategic and transaction-architecture role from regulated execution by banks, investment firms, fund managers or other authorised institutions. The AFM’s investment-firm register guidance describes the principal investment services and activities within the Dutch regime.
03 / Development direction
Building towards deeper capital participation
J.J. Meridian Global is being developed with the intention of participating more deeply in institutional capital over time. Potential future capabilities include managed capital, private credit, co-investment structures, dedicated investment vehicles and broader regulated investment-platform activities.
The appropriate regulatory architecture will depend on the eventual business model, instruments, investors, jurisdictions and services undertaken. Potential pathways may involve AIFM authorisation, appropriately structured partner arrangements and, where relevant, separate investment-firm permissions. These references describe development ambition only. They do not indicate that an application has been submitted, an authorisation granted or a regulatory outcome assured.
Private credit and loan origination
Private credit forms part of that longer-term direction but is not currently offered as a managed investment activity. The European AIFMD framework now contains specific requirements for AIFMs managing loan-originating AIFs, including concentration, leverage, risk-management and operating requirements, with transitional provisions applying to certain pre-existing funds. Any J.J. Meridian Global private-credit platform would be built against the framework applicable when such activity is undertaken. Consolidated AIFMD text applicable from 16 April 2026.
04 / Regulatory development
The framework follows the activity
J.J. Meridian Global is developing the platform with the regulatory perimeter in view. As future activities move closer to managed capital, private credit, investment vehicles or regulated investment services, the permissions, governance, prudential arrangements and operating infrastructure would be determined by what is actually undertaken, for whom and through which structure.
The Dutch and European supervisory framework therefore matters as an operating design constraint rather than as a badge. The AFM is relevant where investment services, fund management or market-conduct requirements apply; DNB where prudential supervision becomes relevant; and ESMA and the EU rulebook provide the wider framework within which those activities are interpreted and supervised.
Important perimeter notice
No current regulated service in J.J. Meridian Global’s own name
Nothing on this website constitutes investment advice, an offer or solicitation to acquire or dispose of financial instruments, an invitation to invest in a fund or investment vehicle, or a representation that J.J. Meridian Global currently provides regulated investment-management or investment-firm services.
References to managed capital, private credit, investment vehicles, capital-markets programmes or other future regulated activities describe strategic development ambitions only. Regulated services are undertaken only where the appropriate legal, regulatory and operating framework is in place.
