Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) are collective investment undertakings, which raises capital from a number of investors with a view to investing it in accordance with a defined investment policy for the benefit of those investors and which do not require authorisation pursuant to the UCITS Directive. AIF constitute a different type of Collective Investments that enjoy a greater flexibility to long or short exposure quotas per security, the allowed leverage on the NAV of the funds and the hedging strategy. Thus, they may undertake higher risk aiming at higher returns. Alternative Investment Funds aim at meeting the needs mostly of institutional and professional investors. In some cases they may cater for private investors who have the knowledge and experience (well informed investors) to understand sufficiently the type of the investment and the correlated risks.
