Alternative investment funds


Closed-end alternative investment funds (AIF)
Closed-end alternative investment funds (closed-end AIFs; formerly closed-end funds) are still one of the most interesting and widespread forms of investment that can prevent asset destruction and generate attractive returns for investors, especially given the current risk of inflation. In addition, the new regulatory environment created when the German Investment Code (KAGB) came into force offers enhanced control mechanisms and therefore greater security for investors. Innovative ideas, financial performance and the loyalty of the product provider to the investors are just as important as the sustainable management of investments to avoid financial and reputational risks and to increase the continued success of the company in this sector.
The initiation and distribution of closed-ended AIFs involves a considerable regulatory and administrative effort for their providers, particularly considering the new regulatory environment created by the KAGB. In addition, successful marketing requires an optimal tax structure for the fund.
Closed-end AIF - a worthwhile form of investment
Thanks to our many years of experience in the field of closed-end funds and our in-depth knowledge of the new regulatory environment for alternative investment funds, PKF IVT offers you a comprehensive range of services, which we provide in close coordination with your individual needs.
