At the peak of the financial crisis in Cyprus, the decision to promote the investment funds sector has proven to be particularly successful within a short time frame. Within a span of five years, Cyprus has attracted a significant amount of Collective and Alternative Investment Funds. Today, the total assets under management within the Cyprus investment funds sector have exceeded the amount of €8 billion.
The benefits generated from the licensing of Investment Funds affect the economy as a whole: an increase in tax revenue, new specialized job positions, the attraction of high-income employees from overseas, as well as promoting the country's name as a professional services hub, during a period which included particular challenges and investments in the real economy.
