ALFI responds to the ESMA call for evidence on the review of the UCITS Eligible Assets Directive

On 6 August 2024, ALFI responded to the ESMA call for evidence on the review of the UCITS Eligible Assets Directive.

In its response, ALFI highlights the importance of maintaining a strong and competitive UCITS regime when envisaging changes to the UCITS Eligible Assets Directive. Moreover, flexibility should be left in the Directive to be able to accommodate new market developments. ALFI suggests enabling broader access to private assets for retail investors, whilst providing the necessary robust safeguards. Finally, our association considers ensuring supervisory convergence across the EU as key in this context.
