Introducing the RAIF

In July 2018, Cyprus introduced a new AIF regime repealing and replacing the 2014 legislation. Among its key provisions, the Law 84 (I) 2018 (“New AIF Law”) introduces the Registered Alternative Investment Fund (“RAIF”). This is a major achievement making Cyprus AIFs more attractive and flexible by significantly reducing the time frame and cost for establishing an AIF in Cyprus.
