What is ELTIF (European Long-Term Investment Fund)?
A European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) is a collective investment vehicle designed to channel capital into long-term investments in the European real economy. Regulated under Regulation (EU) 2015/760 (as amended by ELTIF 2.0 in 2024), ELTIFs can invest in infrastructure, real estate, SMEs, and other illiquid assets.
AIFMD II introduces specific provisions for ELTIFs, particularly around enhanced reporting on long-term investment allocations, retail investor access protections, and liquidity management. ELTIFs are classified as a special type of AIF and must comply with both the ELTIF regulation and AIFMD II requirements.
The ELTIF 2.0 reform significantly broadened the investment scope and reduced barriers to retail distribution, making ELTIFs an increasingly popular structure. This growth means more AIFMs now face ELTIF-specific reporting requirements under AIFMD II.
Why It Matters for Compliance
ELTIFs carry additional reporting layers under AIFMD II. NCAs like AMF require supplementary ELTIF-specific data on investment allocations and retail investor exposure. As ELTIF 2.0 drives more retail participation, the regulatory scrutiny — and reporting burden — will only increase.
