Alternative Investment Funds
With the enactment of the Alternative Investment Funds Law 124(I)/2018 (the “AIF Law of 2018” or the “AIF Law”) in July 2018, Cyprus has modernised and significantly enhanced the offering of alternative investment funds, or “non-UCITS”, which can be registered and domiciled in Cyprus, has introduced the possibility to create Registered AIFs in Cyprus and in addition fine-tuned the other types of AIFs (i.e. AIFs with Unlimited and AIFs with Limited Number of Persons).
Cyprus now boasts the full spectrum of legislative framework to all fund products and provides fund promoters and managers various structuring opportunities.
Why Domicile your AIF in Cyprus?
During the past few years, the funds industry in Cyprus has experienced significant growth (both in terms of value of assets and in terms of number of funds and fund managers), resulting in the Island establishing itself as one of the major EU fund jurisdictions.
Its strategic geographic position, stable political system, attractive tax system, modernised AIF Law, combined with EU and Eurozone memberships, have served to attract global funds and fund managers alike.
The recent regulatory changes in the Cyprus funds industry have resulted in the full alignment of local legislation with the relevant EU Directives, including the Alternative Investment Funds Manager Directive.
