Recital 13

(13)Regulations (EU) No 345/2013 and (EU) No 346/2013 require that managers of qualifying venture capital funds and qualifying social entrepreneurship funds, which are not authorised in accordance with Directive 2011/61/EU, have sufficient own funds at all times. In order to develop an appropriate and proportionate own funds requirement for qualifying venture capital fund managers and for qualifying social entrepreneurship fund managers, the level of own funds should be based on cumulative criteria and should be significantly lower and less complex than the amounts laid down in Directive 2011/61/EU to take into account the specificities, nature and small size of those funds, and to respect the principle of proportionality. To ensure a consistent understanding of those requirements for those managers across the Union, the application of minimum capital requirements and own funds should be provided for in this Regulation. Due to the particular role that qualifying venture capital funds and qualifying social entrepreneurship funds could play in the context of the Capital Markets Union, in particular fostering the financing of venture capital and social entrepreneurship, it is necessary to provide for specific and targeted own funds rules for registered managers that diverge from the own funds framework for authorised managers laid down in Directive 2011/61/EU.
