ELTIFs: the new frontier in European investment
The European Long-Term Investment Fund’s (ELTIF) framework revamped in 2024 has become increasingly popular among asset managers and investors alike. As the investment landscape continues to evolve, the appeal of ELTIFs as a vehicle for long-term, diversified and real economy investments is stronger than ever. Leading asset managers have recently launched their own ELTIFs, further highlighting the growing interest in this investment structure. But what is driving this surge, and what opportunities does it present for investors?
Why ELTIFs are in the spotlight
ELTIFs offer a unique proposition in the European investment market. Designed to channel capital into long-term projects — such as infrastructure, private equity, real estate, often with a sustainability angle to them — ELTIFs provide retail investors access to asset classes that were traditionally reserved for large-scale institutional investors. The 2024 revisions to the ELTIF Regulation offer enhanced flexibility, reduced barriers to entry and improved investor protection through a smart redemption regime and matching mechanism. The benefits of this upgrade are driving real growth with the market nearly doubling in size in the past 12 months alone. Today, some 100 ELTIFs are domiciled in Luxembourg with assets under management in excess of €20bn – rapid expansion that seems likely to continue as ELTIFs continue to make their mark on the market.
