Fund Structuring & Setup
Expert Solutions for Cyprus Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs)
As a tied agent of a licensed Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF), we provide comprehensive services to fund managers and investors looking to establish and manage Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) in Cyprus. Whether you’re a private investor, institutional investor, or fund manager, our tailored solutions ensure seamless fund setup and efficient management within Cyprus’s competitive and flexible regulatory framework.
Why Choose Cyprus for Your Alternative Investment Fund?
1. Tax Efficiency
Cyprus offers one of the most tax-efficient fund environments in Europe:
- No capital gains tax on most investments, unless the gains derive from Cyprus-based property.
- No withholding tax on dividends distributed to non-resident investors.
- Access to an extensive network of over 65 double tax treaties, minimizing your tax exposure on international investments.
2. Flexible Fund Structures
Cyprus provides a range of flexible options when setting up an AIF, including:
- Multiple legal forms: Choose from fixed capital, variable capital, or limited partnership structures.
- Umbrella Funds: Create an umbrella fund with multiple sub-funds, each with its own investment strategy.
3. EU Passporting for Cross-Border Access
As an EU member state, Cyprus allows your AIF to benefit from the AIFMD passport, enabling seamless distribution across the European Economic Area (EEA). This ensures that you can market your fund to professional investors throughout Europe with ease.
4. Competitive Setup Costs
Compared to other jurisdictions, Cyprus offers lower setup and operational costs, without compromising on regulatory rigor or service quality. This means you can optimize your fund’s performance with more efficient cost management.
