What is an UCITS, a SIF and a RAIF?
A UCITS (“Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities”) is an investment vehicle aimed for all types of investments, requiring a high level of diversification of investments and providing the highest degree of protection to investors.
A SIF (Specialized Investment Fund) is an investment vehicle established in Luxembourg that allows investors access to a wider range of assets than a traditional UCITS fund. It is authorized and supervised by the CSSF, the ultimate regulatory authority in Luxembourg.
A RAIF (“Reserved Alternative Investment Fund”) is an investment vehicle established in Luxembourg, which operates like a SIF, with the same level of security, but does not require the prior authorization of the CSSF, speeding up its set-up.

What is the NAV and how is it calculated?
The NAV (“Net Asset Value”) is the unit price of each share in an open fund. It is calculated with the periodicity determined in each product investment policy, as the value of the fund assets minus the value of its liabilities at the calculation date divided by the number of shares outstanding in the fund.
How are fees applied?
The fees accrue daily as the result of the determined fee multiplied by the net equity fund. Generally, payments will be made on a quarterly basis.
While NAV itself is stated net of commissions, Alaluz Capital commits itself to clearly disclosing all those incurred and to ensuring that costs borne by the investor are at the going rate.
What is the minimum initial and the additional subscriptions?
The minimum initial subscription for a RAIF or a SIF is €125.000, with no limits for incremental amounts.
For a UCITS fund there is no minimum subscription. This is regulated in the prospectus.

What are the differences between direct and traditional private equity investing?
Traditional private equity investments are undertaken through collective funds or vehicles. Occassionally their managers may mismatch their assets and liabilties, they are generally granted full discretion and set high mínimum investment levels. Alaluz capital aims to offer clients direct access to remarkable assets. Our services seek to mitigate some of the drawbacks of the traditional fund model while providing investors with an enhanced choice of assets.
How are private equity investments structured?
The investment process is quite straightforward:
- Initial stage: set-up of the optimal investment structure.
- Investments: investor funds are transferred into the private equity investing vehicle from which investments in the target companies are carried out.
- Two-fold return on investment: from dividends that might be paid by the structure and redemptions on investment maturity.
- Redemption: should they desire to do so; the investor can opt to wind down their investments and recover both their invested capital and the obtained returns.
Additionally, to enhance guarantees and prestige, the private equity funds will be reviewed by an independent custodian, and a renowned administrator and auditor. Simplified investment and tax reporting are added benefits of this structure. These additional layers of protection reassure investors.
Direct private equity investments are unique by nature. Consequently, their structure, terms and time frame will vary from deal to deal.
