Linklaters advises EQT on the launch of their first European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF)

Linklaters has advised EQT on the set-up and launch of their first ELTIF and assisted with securing the approval from the Luxembourg financial regulator, the CSSF, in a smooth and efficient filing process. The Luxembourg-domiciled, evergreen fund provides non-professional investors across the EU and EEA with access to a diversified portfolio of EQT Private Capital strategies.

The ELTIF is an extension of EQT’s Nexus evergreen product suite and aims to broaden access to private markets, with investments spanning healthcare, technology, and services across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region. The launch marks a significant step in EQT’s commitment to expanding private market opportunities for individual investors under the ELTIF 2.0 regime.

Silke Bernard, Global Head of Investment Funds at Linklaters, commented:

We are delighted to have advised EQT on the launch of their first ELTIF, adding an exciting product to their offerings for individual investors. This project highlights Luxembourg’s role as a leading hub for ELTIFs and demonstrates our commitment to expanding access to private markets for a broader range of investors.
