Background In its 2016 review, the European Commission noted that these funds remain small and concentrated in a few Member States and that, while the take-up of EuVECA could be considered successful, the EuSEF results have been disappointing. Three main obstacles to further growth have been identified: limitations imposed on managers; product rules; and the (varying) application of regulatory fees in Member States with regards to funds' marketing and management. To overcome those obstacles, the European Commission has identified some measures in a legislative proposal in July 2016 that − by removing limitations on larger managers managing EuVECA and EuSEF funds, decreasing costs for EuVECA and EuSEF funds, and broadening the range of eligible assets EuVECA funds may invest in − should increase investment into these funds. The European Parliament was due to vote on a legislative proposal to amend these regulations during its September 2017 plenary. Author: Angelos Delivorias |
