The ICAV has been authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland as a European long-term investment fund pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/760 on European long-term investment funds (the “ELTIF Regulation”).
European Economic Area (“EEA”): Shares in the ELTIF Fund (the “Shares”) may be marketed to retail investors in the EEA in accordance with the ELTIF Regulation, however, retail investors in the EEA (including those investors which elect to be treated as professional clients) may only invest via a regulated intermediary.
Where an investment is made through an intermediary, the intermediary is solely responsible for: (a) assessing the suitability of the ELTIF Fund for the investor in accordance with EU Directive 2014/65/EU (“MiFID II”); and (b) administering and evidencing the 14-day cooling-off period (where applicable), during which a retail investor may cancel their subscription without penalty.
With reference to the above, ‘retail investor’ means an EEA investor that is not a professional investor, and ‘professional Investor’ has the meaning given to, in the case of EEA Investors, the definition of “professional client in annex II of MiFID II.
United States: The Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or the securities laws of any of the states of the US and the ICAV has not been, and will not be, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) or the laws of any of the states of the US. Accordingly, the Shares may not be offered or sold directly or indirectly in the US or to or for the account or benefit of any US Person, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to the regulatory requirements of, the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Shares will only be available to US Persons who are “qualified institutional buyers” under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the 1940 Act and who make certain representations. Any re-offer or resale of any of the Shares in the US or to US Persons may constitute a violation of US law. The ELTIF ICAV will not be registered under the 1940 Act, and is exempt from such registration pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) thereunder.
