Note! Qualified Investors Fund:
- is intended for qualified (experienced and professional) investors, institutional and private;
- the minimum amount of investment to the fund from the investor is 40 000 EUR;
- can be used in all investment strategies and directions and their combinations;
- can be established as a single entity or as a structure with sub-funds.
What are sub-funds and SICAV?
A sub-fund is a part of a fund that can have a different investment strategy and direction. It is very interesting that each sub-fund is property-separated from other sub-funds and issues its own investment shares with the right of repurchase. Thus, within a single investment fund, you can effectively create separate portfolios for different investors and investment areas.
In essence, this is an effective platform for creating a holding, where each project has its own separate balance and is not liable for the obligations of other holding projects.
Sub-funds can be created only within investment funds in the form of SICAV.
SICAV is a joint stock company with a variable statutory fund; it is a special legal form created for use in the field of investment funds. SICAV takes as a basis a traditional joint-stock company, but at the same time gives investors the opportunity to freely enter and exit this fund. In SICAV, the constituent and investment parts of the fund are separated from each other by the charter or by creating sub-funds. In accordance with this division, SICAV issues two types of shares - constituent shares (intended for founders), with which the right to vote is associated, and investment shares (for investors) with the right of redemption and, most often, without voting rights.
