Private equity, real estate and infrastructure: EU Commission opens new investment opportunities for private investors from 2024

According to a report by www.wallstreet-online.de, new opportunities will open up for private investors to invest in private equity, real estate or infrastructure starting next year. A new regulation by the EU Commission makes this possible. From January 2024, the “European Long Term Investment Funds”, or Eltifs for short, will enable private investors to invest with less effort in private markets, which include areas such as private equity, private debt, infrastructure and real estate.

This innovation offers many advantages for private investors. You can invest with lower capital in asset classes that were previously mainly reserved for large investors. This opens up the opportunity to diversify the investment portfolio and potentially achieve higher returns. In addition, the overall market for alternative investments is expected to become larger and more liquid, which could have a positive impact on the prices and attractiveness of these asset classes.

What this means for the industry is that the competitive environment could change with new investors entering the market and increasing demand for alternative investments. This could result in the benefits and fees for these asset classes changing. There are new opportunities for consumers to invest in asset classes that were previously difficult to access and potentially achieve higher returns. However, it is important that retail investors educate themselves about the risks and challenges of these new investment opportunities, as alternative investments typically involve higher risks.

Overall, the EU Commission's new regulations offer private investors a variety of new investment opportunities that could potentially have positive effects on the market, consumers and the industry.
