Arendt supports Neuberger Berman’s ELTIF platform expansion

Experts involved in the Deal

Arendt advised Neuberger Berman on launching new ELTIF sub-funds under its evergreen platform. The latest launches include the NB Private Equity Open Access Fund (“Open Access”) and LIQID Private Equity NXT (“NXT”), both designed to expand retail and private wealth investor access to private equity markets.

Launched under the ELTIF 2.0 framework, Open Access and NXT provide investors with a semi-liquid investment structure. Open Access achieved a successful first close of EUR 110 million, while LIQID Private Equity NXT – developed in strategic partnership with the digital wealth manager LIQID – raised over EUR 220 million within just 15 months of its inception.

These launches demonstrate the growing importance of ELTIFs in democratising private markets access and highlight Arendt’s expertise in structuring innovative investment solutions for the evolving private markets landscape.
