A specialised investment fund (“SIF”) is a multipurpose vehicle which can be used for all asset classes. It provides flexibility and fiscal efficiency. It usually qualifies as an alternative investment fund (“AIF”). The SIF is reserved to one or several well-informed investors (as defined by the law). SIFs that have appointed an EU alternative investment fund manager (“AIFM”) can market their securities or partnership interests across the European Union.
