Investment Structures for Alternative Investments in Mauritius

Alternative Investment Vehicles (AIVs) are legal entities or structures specifically designed to facilitate investment in non-traditional asset classes, commonly referred to as alternative investments. These asset classes include private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, real estate, commodities, infrastructure, and other illiquid or non-publicly traded investments.

An AIV serves as a dedicated structure through which investors gain exposure to a specific subset of assets or strategies, often operating alongside or as a complement to a primary fund.

Purpose of Alternative Investment Vehicles

The primary purposes of AIVs are to:

Provide Access to Alternative Asset Classes

AIVs allow investors to participate in investment opportunities that are not available through traditional vehicles like mutual funds or listed securities.

Facilitate Structuring Flexibility

AIVs offer fund managers the flexibility to structure specific investments that may not align with the mandate, jurisdiction, or regulatory constraints of a main fund.

Enable Regulatory and Tax Efficiency

AIVs are often used to isolate certain assets, investors, or strategies in a way that aligns with legal, tax, or compliance requirements in different jurisdictions.

Enhance Operational Efficiency

AIVs are commonly used to participate in co-investments, follow-on rounds, or special situations without disrupting the structure of the main fund.

Protect Investor Interests

By isolating specific investments or groups of investors, AIVs help manage risks and provide tailored governance, rights, or exit terms.
