European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs)

Explore the emerging trends and key insights surrounding the growth and challenges of ELTIFs in the European market.

European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs) are gaining momentum in 2024 thanks to recent regulatory changes that have led to more new products being authorized this year. Originally introduced in 2015, ELTIFs aim to democratize access to illiquid private assets, such as private equity, real estate, private credit, and infrastructure, to a broader base of retail investors.

With the flexibility of open-ended "evergreen" structures, ELTIFs can now appeal to a wider range of investors compared to traditional closed-end funds. As asset managers look to compete with low-cost passive products, private and semi-private assets such as ELTIFs may provide an opportunity for better margins. However, the integration of private market strategies remains a hurdle for many traditional asset managers.
