• New record high in number of active entities – Assets Under Management reach €11.4 billion
• M. Panayiotou: Quality growth and strengthening the ecosystem’s credibility remain a strategic priority

The Cyprus Investment Funds Association (CIFA) expresses its satisfaction with the sector’s continued positive momentum, as reflected in the latest data released by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to the data, the number of Authorised, Registered and Approved Management Companies and Undertakings for Collective Investments with operations reached 260, marking a historic high for the industry.

At the same time, total Assets Under Management (AuM) rose to €11.4 billion, approaching the highest levels recorded to date. In parallel, investments channelled directly into the Cypriot economy amounted to €2.8 billion, confirming the sector’s steadily strengthening contribution to the real economy.

Statement by CIFA President Maria Panayiotou

“The latest figures confirm that the investment funds sector in Cyprus continues to mature and expand with strong qualitative characteristics. The new sustainable increase in the number of active entities, together with the solid growth in Assets Under Management, reflects the continued confidence of the international investment community.

Our strategic objective remains the qualitative scaling of the collective investment ecosystem. That means more activity, with an even stronger emphasis on governance, transparency and long-term value. The sector can and should act as a catalyst for the further upgrading of the country’s economic model.”

Stability and competitiveness

In an international environment marked by heightened uncertainty and intensifying competition among jurisdictions, stability, predictability and the preservation of Cyprus’s competitive advantages remain of critical importance.

Strengthening institutional maturity, ensuring the effective implementation of the European regulatory framework and further developing specialised human capital are key priorities for sustaining the sector’s positive momentum.

CIFA remains committed to supporting its members and to promoting Cyprus as a reliable and competitive international investment funds centre, contributing meaningfully to the sustainable growth of the Cypriot economy.
