The EIB’s Fund Activities

19/05/2017 European Investment Bank Group 13

Encouraging private and public sector commitment of

investment, project implementation and management

experience

Enhancing the investment market complements other

initiatives and additional sources of funding (including

institutional investors)

EIB’s fund investments are split amongst three main sectors and supplemented

by the EIF’s European SME activities

Infrastructure

Environment

SMEs in emerging markets

Others via EIF

Equity (and in limited cases debt) funds investing in infrastructure

projects that fulfill EIB’s eligibility criteria

Funds investing in projects promoting climate change mitigation

(e.g. renewable energy) or adaptation (e.g. irrigation projects)

SME private equity funds focusing on emerging markets

The European Investment Fund (EIF), an EIB subsidiary, invests in

European SME private equity and venture capital funds

EIB key structuring considerations (2)

Limited liability

EIB to invest in funds protecting limited liability of investors

Legal opinion

Safe harbour for internal acts of management in modern LP regimes

Free transferability of interests / advance consent by GP/Manager to EU bodies

(problematic in structures with mandatory or contractual right of first

offer/refusal)

EIB consolidation prohibited

Maximum concentration limit

Absence of control (in particular if feeder or parallel vehicle)

Closing remarks

Ireland is well suited to be a fund domicile for funds

Effective and proven legal structures

Sophisticated regulator

Established eco-system of advisers and service providers

Onshore jurisdiction with access to passporting

Historically EIB has not invested in Irish infrastructure and environmental funds

simply due to lack of opportunties

The General Partners/Fund Managers choose a fund’s domicile and should

therefore be the primary marketing target

Ireland has strong development opportunties lying ahead for its funds business

… and the EIB is looking forward to being offered Irish-domiciled fund

opportunities for investment
