The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has published an update on amendments to the Alternative Investment Fund Act and related regulations that will apply the revised EU framework for European long-term investment funds (ELTIF 2) in Norway. From 1 April 2026, the changes will make it possible to establish ELTIFs in Norway under Regulation (EU) 2023/606. ELTIF 2 amends the original ELTIF Regulation (EU) No 760/2015 and is intended to make ELTIFs more attractive for asset managers to establish. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/2759 will also be incorporated from 1 April 2026, aligning the technical regulatory standards with the options opened by ELTIF 2 and complementing Delegated Regulation (EU) No 480/2018. In Norwegian law, the ELTIF framework is implemented in section 1a-3 of the Alternative Investment Fund Act, while the updated technical standards are implemented through amendments to section 8-8 of the Alternative Investment Fund Regulations.
