Highgate Group in ICLG’s international publication on investment fund regulation

What does the legal and regulatory framework for investment funds in Slovakia look like in 2026?
Our colleagues Peter Varga and Roman Baranec have prepared a comprehensive overview of the legal regulation of public investment funds in Slovakia for the international publication ICLG.

In particular, the publication covers key areas of the operation of collective investment of public investment funds, including:

• types of fund structures and their practical use
• licensing and regulatory requirements
• the status of investment advisers
• distribution of funds and cross-border passporting within the EU
• taxation of investment funds

This overview provides a comprehensive view of the functioning of investment funds in Slovakia and reflects the broader European regulatory framework.

If you are considering setting up an investment fund or distributing securities and equity interests of investment funds in Slovakia, the publication offers a practical “reality check” of the current regulatory rules.
