On 20 March 2023, Regulation (EU) 2023/606 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union in order to solve the non-growth of European long-term investment funds ("ELTIF") and to make long-term investment funds more accessible and popular across all member states, for the benefit of citizens, businesses and investors. These types of funds are the only ones dedicated to long-term investment that can be distributed on a cross-border basis to both professional and retail investors. In addition, Regulation 2023/606 adds real assets (such as communication infrastructure, environmental, education and health infrastructure) to the "eligible" investment categories, in order to achieve flexibility for fund managers.
