04/02/2022Grieder, Stefan, The Limited Qualified Investor Fund (L-QIF) – A new star in the Swiss fund sky? in: SZW-RSDA (Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Wirtschafts- und Finanzmarktrecht) 6/2021, pp. 673-682
The Swiss Federal Council (Bundesrat) recently submitted a bill to Parliament to amend the Collective Investment Schemes Act in order to introduce a new Swiss fund category – the Limited Qualified Investment Fund (L-QIF). Inspired by Luxembourg’s Reserved Alternative Investment Fund (RAIF), the L-QIF, other than the existing Swiss fund products, shall be exempt from FINMA approval and supervision. This allows a short time to market for such products. In addition, the L-QIF shall have maximum freedom to determine its investment and risk diversification policy. The new products are, therefore, ideally suited for alternative and innovative investment strategies.
