ELTIFs - European long-term investment funds

We have played a leading role in the development of Luxembourg’s investment funds industry. Today, we advise more Luxembourg European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs) than any other law firm by number of funds advised.¹

ETIFs are EU-regulated alternative investment funds designed to channel capital into long-term investments, including infrastructure, private equity, real estate and private debt. They can be marketed to both retail and professional investors and benefit from a European passport for cross-border distribution.

ELTIFs offer a framework for bringing private market strategies to a broader investor base, combining long-term investment structures with defined redemption and liquidity management tools.
