New launches per year/by asset class

Since ELTIF 2.0, the number of new launches has more than tripled

Since the amended ELTIF Regulation took effect in January 2024, new funds have been coming to market much faster. The largest increase from 2023 to 2025 is in Private Equity and Private Credit.

as many launches in 2025 (53) as in 2023 (15)

73%

of today’s universe was launched in 2024 or later (102 of 140)

Launch year documented for 140 of 140 funds. 2026 is a year in progress (hatched). Only funds in today’s universe are counted; discontinued funds are missing, so early years are understated.

Asset classes/one square = one fund

Private equity makes up just over a third of the market

Each square leads to the fund page, each class to its overview.

Minimum investment/entry threshold

Almost one in two funds asks for a minimum investment of EUR 10,000 or less

ELTIF 2.0 removed the former EUR 10,000 minimum for retail investors. This has reached the broad market, but a core remains institutional.

47%

of funds with documented data have a minimum investment of EUR 10,000 or less (63 of 133).

Minimum investment in euros, scale in bands. Over EUR 1m: 11 funds, effectively institutional only. No data: 7 funds.

Ongoing costs/per fund, by asset class

Costs vary more within each class than between classes

The class medians are only 0.55 percentage points apart, while the middle half within a class spans 0.7 to 1.2 points. What matters for selection is the individual fund, not the class.

Legal structure/by launch year

ELTIF 2.0 has become the standard wrapper for new launches

Of the funds launched in 2023, 2 of 15 now carry the ELTIF 2.0 wrapper; of those launched in 2025, 34 of 53; in 2026 so far, 13 of 17. The Luxembourg Part II SICAV remains the second pillar but is losing weight among new launches.
