As markets began actively seeking new investor classes, there has also been demand from retail investors to access to markets and “real assets”. This trend for retailisation has brought with it plenty of challenges, as well as opportunities.

The ELTIF 2.0 regime has already made some impact, and especially in Luxembourg which now has a share of some 65% of the ELTIF market and has the opportunity to position itself as a global hub for the new retail funds in the same way as it did with UCITS. 

In the latest edition of the Arendt We Live podcast, three experts look at how strategies are changing to allow retail clients to access private assets.

ELTIFs will be a game changer in terms of rebranding and reconnecting, says , Director at Arendt. Indeed, she argues that ELTIFs will become a sort of new UCITS in terms of appeal top retail investors. And they will also help recreate the link between distributors, managers and final investors.
