AIFMD & ELTIF

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) is an EU initiative that aims to harmonise rules for the management and marketing of alternative investment funds. INREV supports the directive’s principles and objectives in general, and has engaged with the European Securities Markets Authority in developing its advice to the European Commission on the matter. 

The European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIF) Regulation is aimed at increasing the pool of capital available for long-term investment in the EU economy by creating a new form of fund vehicle.
