ELTIF - European long-term investment funds as investments in renewable energies

According to a report by www.n-tv.de, Raimund Brichta and Etienne Bell present a new investment option known as European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs). ELTIFs offer the opportunity to invest in long-term investments such as wind and solar parks or recycling plants. This form of investment was previously reserved primarily for institutional investors, but will now also become more accessible to private investors. The discussion about the potential popularity of ELTIFs in the investor community is a central topic of the current episode of “Brichta and Bell – Economics Simple and Fast”, to which Christian Schneider-Sickert, CEO of LIQID Investments, is invited as a guest.

The potential impact of the wider availability of ELTIFs on the market is extensive. Increased interest in this form of investment could lead to increased investments in long-term projects such as renewable energies or the circular economy. This would strengthen the real economy while promoting sustainable growth. However, the long-term nature of these investments should also be taken into account by investors as the liquidity of such investments differs from that of traditional ETFs.

It remains to be seen how market participants will react to the opening of ELTIFs to retail investors and to what extent this will impact the long-term investment industry. However, it is undeniable that this development has the potential to change the investment environment for retail investors and open up new opportunities for sustainable investments.
