What is an ELTIF?

The term “ELTIF” stands for European Long-Term Investment Funds. It is a pan-European regime for Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) designated to facilitate long-term investments in the real economy, such as infrastructure. ELTIFs have been around since 2015 and are intended to help guide the European economy on a path of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

New rules came into force - ELTIF 2.0

  • The European Union has taken a major step towards making the financial instrument more effective and enabling even more investors to invest with a long-term impact.
  • The ELTIF 2.01 regulation amends the investment scope and requirements of the initial ELTIF regulation, making it more flexible, and accessible to a broader range of investors. ELTIF 2.0 can now invest as follows:
    • Global investment universe and simplified definition of "real assets"
    • At least 55% eligible illiquid investments
    • Fund-of-funds strategies allowed
    • No minimum investment and eased regime for "de facto" open-ended ELTIFs

Investing in an ELTIF with a clear focus on Infrastructure means also participating in societal megatrends

Infrastructure assets are the backbone of society. They provide services from distributing energy and managing waste, to enabling mobility through roads and airports. There is a significant investment need to tackle a number of structural global mega trends, and these are namely the 3D's as we call them, decarbonisation, digitalisation and demographics. We see about 94 trillion2 ​US Dollars in global investment need by 2040. Alone in energy transition about 28 trillion2 US Dollars of capital that needs to be invested. Therefore, infrastructure investing means participating in societal megatrends, providing ample opportunities to investors.

Shaping tomorrow’s infrastructure through one of the largest infrastructure investors worldwide

We have a long history of investing in infrastructure starting in 2008 with our first infrastructure equity investment and being widely recognised in the industry across sectors and geographies. We have continuously built out our portfolio and are one of the largest global infrastructure investment managers3, managing over EUR 50 billion4 globally in direct debt/equity transactions, infrastructure funds and co-investments. Through our new strategy, we provide access to the societal megatrend infrastructure worldwide.

Infrastructure investments may offer a natural inflation protection deriving from investing in real assets and supported by regulation, concession agreements and contracts. Past 3 years of quarter-on-quarter positive value development despite inflationary pressure8.
Infrastructure investments may diversify a traditional portfolio invested in public markets, reducing the overall portfolio risk due to its low correlation to public markets. 0.5 correlation to listed equities9.

Since ELTIFs are subject to specific regulations and guidelines, it is essential to understand the Fund’s structure, risks, and investment objectives before making any decisions

Because of the long-term nature of the assets they will invest in, it may take ELTIFs up to five years to fully invest all of the available capital in the Fund. This period is called a "ramp-up period". The portfolio composition and concentration limits do not apply during this period.
