European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF)
The European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) is an investment vehicle designed for investors who want to make long-term investments into companies and projects. The current ELTIF regime allows all types of investors to invest long-term in European non-listed companies and in long-term assets such as real estate and infrastructure projects. Asset managers have a primary role to play in maximising the pooling and diversification of capital and managing collective investment schemes.
EFAMA believes that the current ELTIF Regulation needs to be amended, to fully unlock its potential and become a product of choice for investors. We advocate for an “evergreen” product with the recalibration of the regulation’s asset eligibility requirements, minimum investment amounts and the establishment of adequate tax incentives.

The revised ELTIF – a long-term opportunity for European investors
EFAMA firmly supports the European Commission’s proposal to revise the European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) Regulation. The revised framework has the potential to transform ELTIF into a product of choice for European investors and to become a cornerstone of the Capital Markets Union.

The European long-term investment fund (ELTIF) is a regulated pan-European label for alternative
investment funds (AIFs). ELTIFs may invest in a variety of assets and may be marketed to retail
and professional investors under the harmonised passporting regime of the ELTIF Regulation.
ELTIFs are regulated by the ELTIF Regulation (EU) 2023/606 amending (EU) 2015/760 on
European long-term investment funds. The ELTIF Regulation is applicable as of 10 January 2024.
FAQ: ELTIF Regulation 2.0
The new European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) Regulation became applicable on 10 January 2024. Going forward, fund managers will have greater flexibility to make ELTIFs more attractive to end investors, particularly on the retail side, unlocking their potential as a source of financing for the European real economy. To support the success of ‘ELTIF 2.0’, EFAMA and Arendt have published a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ brochure, which covers the most burning questions asset managers may have regarding the new regime.
