Category: ELTIFs
On 15 February 2023, the European Parliament has voted in favour of an update to the EU’s Regulation for Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs), also known as ELTIF 2.0.
The reform had been proposed by the European Commission in November 2021, and we have touched upon the amendments in a previous update.
In general, the framework around (ELTIFs) has been updated as part of the EU’s wider Capital Markets Union (CMU) initiative that aims to develop the EU’s capital markets, and the amendments to the regulation include a broader scope of eligible assets, a simplified definition of ‘retail assets’, which include lighter retail investor requirements, and an increased market capitalization threshold.
Next Step: The revised regulation is expected to be published in the Official Journal of the European Union in March 2023 and will enter into force in the first quarter of 2024.
