Open AIF: A platform for building your own fund

In an increasingly competitive and fragmented financial environment, a new need arises for family offices, entrepreneurs and wealth managers: to create customized investment vehicles with maximum tax and operational efficiency, but without having to bear the costs and complexity of a proprietary structure. 

It is precisely from this need that Open AIF Sicav PLC was born, the platform launched by Diaman Partners to offer professional investors the opportunity to set up dedicated sub-funds within a harmonized multi-fund SICAV, headquartered in Malta and with immediate access to a European passport. 

What is one of investors' biggest concerns? 

Those who manage large assets know that the silent enemy of capital growth is recurring taxation. It is one thing to pay capital gains taxes only at the time of disinvestment. Quite different is to suffer a constant annual erosion that, in the long run, can have a big impact on the final capital. 

Starting with a capital of 50 million in a 30-year simulation with an average annual return of 8 percent, a tax-efficient fund can generate up to 50 million more than a traditional administered deposit. 

By investing in a fund instead, the tax is deferred at the time of disinvestment, allowing the full benefit of the compounding effect. In fact, profits accrued within the fund do not generate tax liabilities on an annual basis and are instead reinvested, generating higher returns. 

How does Open AIF work? 

Open AIF is a SICAV PLC authorized as a NAIF (Notified Alternative Investment Fund). Each sub-fund created is legally segregated from the others, has its own ISIN, its own prospectus, and its own track record certified on major infoprovider platforms.  

In addition, each aspect can be custom-structured:  

• In-house management or delegated to other managers; 

• Wide flexibility on asset classes (stocks, bonds, funds and derivatives, but also Bitcoin and digital assets, or illiquid assets such as private equity and debt, venture capital, real estate, unlisted companies) 

• Ability to create different classes with diversified fees and distribution policies. 

In addition, by relying on Malta's best service providers, the efficiency of this emerging jurisdiction allows for a much lower cost than traditional jurisdictions and the ability to build financially sustainable funds even with an AUM of €5 million.  

The time-to-market is also competitive with traditional jurisdictions: about 8 weeks from signing to first investments.  

Who is it designed for? 

• For entrepreneurs, family offices and family groups who want to create a fund dedicated to them 

• For wealth managers, private bankers or advisors who want to offer their clients a dedicated solution 

• For investment teams that have a strategy but not a regulated structure to be deployed in the European market without regulatory headaches. 

The advantages at a glance 

• Tax efficiency: tax deferred, benefiting from the compounding effect 

• Regulatory security: harmonized structure that complies with European regulations 

• Full flexibility: from strategy to governance, everything is tailor-made 

• Fast timelines: go-live in less than two months 

A new paradigm:

With Open AIF, you no longer need a proprietary management company to start a fund. You don't need an in-house compliance team, a risk manager, and a dedicated back office. You just need a clear investment vision, and a reliable partner like Diaman Partners to make it happen.
