Short answerELTIF stands for European long-term investment fund, a fund type under a single EU framework that directs capital mainly into long-term real assets and is run by an authorised alternative investment fund manager.

ELTIF is the abbreviation for European long-term investment fund. It is a type of alternative investment fund governed by Regulation (EU) 2015/760, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/606, often called "ELTIF 2.0".

What it means

The framework channels capital into long-term projects, for example property, infrastructure and unlisted companies. A fund must be managed by an authorised alternative investment fund manager and is supervised by a competent authority.

Why it matters

The label shows that a fund follows the common European rules. It does not say the fund is of good quality, and it does not remove risks such as loss of capital or limited redemption. Read the key information document before investing.
