Rules on how to invest in a European Union product designed to boost infrastructure spending have been set – six months after fund managers were allowed to put such products on the market.

Regulatory technical standards for European Long-Term Investment Funds were set on June 8, the European Securities and Markets Authority said. The standards still need to be approved by the European Commission, even though fund managers have been able to set up Eltifs since December.
