ELTIF approval means that the fund can now be marketed across the European Union, and it is now accessible to new categories of investors, including wholesale investors. The ELTIF approval also relaxes the fund’s management and liquidity rules.
“The ELTIF approval of Eiffel Infrastructures Vertes marks a key milestone for the fund and for investment in the energy transition in Europe,” said Laura Carrère, deputy chief executive of Eiffel Investment Group.
