Unlocking strategic growth with comprehensive AIF expertise

Alternative investment funds (AIFs) have emerged as an attractive option for individuals and institutions wishing to diversify their portfolios and potentially generate higher returns. Maturing European economies, coupled with a favourable regulatory environment for AIFs, have fuelled their expansion, attracting investors seeking exposure to alternative investment strategies.

We identify three main trends likely to influence private asset activities:

the expansion of the audience, boosted by Eltif 2.0 regulation that seeks to serve (among others) individual clients;
the growing demand for digitalisation of operational processes, which can efficiently support individual investors at scale;
the increasing focus on performance improvement, as companies look for ways to reduce costs, improve customer experience and ultimately achieve higher returns.

“The regulatory landscape governing AIFs in Western Europe is intricate and nuanced and comprises a patchwork of national and regional frameworks. Understanding these regulations is crucial for financial services companies wishing to invest in AIFs in a responsible and compliant manner.”

“ESG integration is a powerful driver of sustainability and growth for finance players.

This approach not only promotes a more sustainable future but also aligns with the growing demand for responsible investment strategies, attracting investors and driving financial growth. Financial players now face a key challenge: “how” to achieve these goals and anticipate the complexity of the various requirements and implications.”
