Luxembourg is Europe’s number one investment centre and the world’s leading hub for global fund distribution. The Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) law of February 2007, significantly relaxed rules relating to the ‘eligible investors’ and ‘eligible assets’, adding to the allure of Luxembourg as the world’s fund centre of choice for both promoters and investors alike.

It is within the frame work of the SIF 2007 law that SICAV SIFs in general and the
KMG SICAV-SIF platform, in particular, operate.

A SICAV SIF is an onshore Luxembourg-branded and regulated investment fund.  A SIF takes a collective investment approach to investor funds and applies the principle of risk diversification.  It can be structured as (amongst others) an open ended legal entity with variable capital (SICAV) which may create dedicated funds with different investment policies.

The structure can play host to a wide variety of asset types, including both traditional and alternative investment products. There are few restrictions on leveraging, making it ideal for Private Equity, Hedge Funds and Property Funds.  The rules are designed to accommodate all investment styles and objectives.
