Today, the European Parliament voted in favor of amending the European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIF) Regulation, following the European Commission’s proposal in November 2021. The revamped regime now has the potential to become an attractive “go-to” fund structure for long-term investments, with particularly beneficial improvements for retail investors.
ELTIF 2.0 - European Long-Term Investment Funds
In the 9th issue of our “3 Questions 2” (3Q2) series, we spoke with Stuart Corrigall, Chair of the EFAMA Fund Regulation Standing Committee and Managing Director at BlackRock, on ELTIF 2.0.
He answers the following questions:
1: What is an ELTIF, and why did the current ELTIF regime need to be revised?
2: What are the major changes the review process introduced?
3: In light of those changes, is ELTIF 2.0 going to be successful?
ELTIF review - What is needed to make ELTIF 2.0 successful?
EFAMA strongly supports the Commission's draft proposal amending the ELTIF Regulation where it addresses some of the major obstacles that have undermined the attractiveness of the ELTIF product since inception. The revised legal framework has the potential to transform ELTIF into a product of choice for a larger (retail) investor audience, all while serving the purposes of the Capital Markets Union (CMU). However, some important adjustments remain to be made for the ELTIF regime to reach its full potential as a competitive long-term investment option.

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.

EFAMA firmly supports the Commission’s proposed amend of the ELTIF Regulation, in line with its recently revamped “new” CMU.
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.
