The aim of this article is estimation of significance of financial crisis on investment fund management companies' activity on Polish financial market during two years – from July 2007 to June 2009. The most important aspect of this impact was decline of investment funds' net asset value (from 139,0 billion PLN to 77,2 billion PLN). It was due to decreasing value of securities in funds' investment portfolios and negative balance of payments and amortizations (investors withdrew from funds 25,4 billion PLN more than they paid in). Declining value of net assets value caused decrease of value of investment fund management companies' management fees and decreasing payments were a reason of falling distribution fees. Decreasing fees contributed to lower income and lower net profit. Financial crisis had also other consequences – for example decreasing amount of new investment fund management companies and investment funds and increasing amount of funds' liquidations.

The aim of this article is to analyse legal developments in the collective investment institutions` market in Europe and their potential impact on the shape of the European financial market. In the case of UCITS funds (primarily open-end funds aimed at individual investors) the most important will be implementation of the provisions of Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (UCITS IV). It will introduce European passport for management companies, establish new regulations for cross-border mergers and acquisitions and shorten and simplify the process of notification of UCITS funds. For other funds, non-harmonised with UCITS IV Directive (so-called alternative investment funds: hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, commodity funds, infrastructure funds and other types of institutional funds), the European Commission prepared a draft Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers. The puropse of this Directive is to extend regulation and supervision of all entities and each type of activity that involves significant risks.
