On March 19, 2025, the UK Parliament approved legislation to launch the Reserved Investor Fund (RIF), a new onshore fund structure designed to give professional and institutional investors easier access to illiquid assets, including UK real estate. This development marks a significant milestone for the UK funds industry and presents a strategic opportunity for both Elveden Capital and our valued investors.
What is the RIF?
The Reserved Investor Fund is a tax-transparent, professional-only fund vehicle that allows for efficient investment into long-term, illiquid assets. Tailored to meet the requirements of institutional investors such as pension schemes, insurance funds, and family offices, the RIF provides a regulated, UK-based structure that offers similar tax benefits to offshore funds.
What Does This Mean for Elveden Capital?
Elveden Capital is well-positioned to leverage the advantages of the RIF to expand our investment offerings:
- We can structure onshore real estate funds with greater tax efficiency.
- The RIF enables us to attract a broader pool of institutional capital.
- It supports our strategic focus on scaling residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments with a longer-term investment horizon.
How Does This Benefit Our Investors?
- Improved access to large-scale UK property developments within a regulated, UK-based fund.
- Greater tax transparency and efficiency, enhancing net returns.
- Strong governance and regulatory oversight, increasing trust and institutional credibility.
Our Next Steps
We are actively working with our legal and fund administration partners to incorporate RIF-compliant structures into our future real estate offerings. This is part of our continued commitment to deliver high-yield, risk-managed, and transparently structured investment opportunities.
