Specialised investment funds (“SIFs”) qualifying as European Social Entrepreneurship Funds (“EuSEF”) or European Venture Capital (“EuVECA”) funds have the option to be subject to the EuSEF and EuVECA legislation. Both regimes benefit from the European passport which permits the marketing of the fund to EU-based eligible investors.
