An Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is any collective investment undertaking, including their investment compartments, which collectively raises capital from a number of investors with the purpose of investing it for the benefit of those investors with a defined investment policy in mind and does not require authorization pursuant to the provision of the Collective Investments Law or the legislation of another Member State, beyond the host country.
