Range of Structures
Funds domiciled in the DIFC or managed by a DIFC-licensed Fund Manager are classified as Domestic Funds. There are three main types of Domestic Funds: Qualified Investor Funds (QIFs), Exempt Funds and Public Funds, which can all be structured as companies or partnerships.
QIFs and Exempt Funds are open only to professional investors with a minimum subscription by private placement of USD500,000 and USD50,000 respectively. A Public Fund is open to both professional and retail investors.
A QIF can receive regulatory approval in two days and an Exempt Fund in five days.
