Especially impact funds with their small size of often less than 50M EUR have a hard time setting up competitive operating environments and cost structures. Especially if the investor base is to be extended to private and institutional investors from the EU and beyond, such flexible constructs are usually expensive and require a lot of regulatory work to operate.
This is where it makes sense to jump under our Impact RAIF umbrella. The Luxembourg construct is widely accepted throughout the EU and can also accept investors outside the EU. Furthermore, we use the possibility of splitting the RAIF into completely independent compartments in order to pass on corresponding cost advantages. Think of this as a “flat-sharing community” of impact initiatives sharing the costs of the whole house (i.e. the financial vehicle). We accompany the installation as well as the organizational and regulatory operation over the duration of the project. This allows you to focus more on your actual task, the asset management.
We need more real impact funds that shine with attractive returns and positive, traceable impact.
