The investment fund industry of Cyprus continues to develop confidently. According to the latest data from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the volume of assets under management on the island has grown to 11.4 billion euros. This is one of the highest indicators in the entire history of the sector and an important signal for international investors.
Growth is occurring against the background of an increasing number of operating companies and funds, which confirms the strengthening of Cyprus’s position as an international financial center. Experts note that the market is gradually transitioning from a formation stage to a mature model of sustainable development.
Record number of market participants
According to official statistics, the total number of licensed, registered, and approved management companies and collective investment organizations has reached 260. This is a historical maximum for the country. The expansion in the number of active structures indicates stable interest from international funds and management companies choosing Cyprus as a jurisdiction for conducting business.
A significant role in the development of the sector is played by the Cyprus Investment Funds Association (CIFA), which brings together professional market participants. The association’s president, Maria Panayiotou, emphasized that current indicators confirm the qualitative growth of the industry and the strengthening of trust from the global investment community.
2.8 billion euros invested in the Cyprus economy
Particular attention should be paid to the fact that about 2.8 billion euros were directed directly into the Cypriot economy. This means that investment funds not only accumulate capital but also actively support the development of the real sector — from real estate and tourism to innovative projects and energy.
In conditions of global economic instability and high competition between European financial centers, Cyprus manages to maintain attractiveness thanks to a stable regulatory environment, transparency of procedures, and compliance with European standards. The country remains part of the EU legal framework, which strengthens trust from institutional investors.
Course toward sustainable and high-quality development
According to industry representatives, further development will be based not only on quantitative growth but also on improving standards of corporate governance, transparency, and long-term value for investors. Priority remains the effective implementation of European regulation, the development of professional talent, and the strengthening of the institutional maturity of the market.
In 2026, Cyprus continues to strengthen its position as a competitive investment fund center in the Eastern Mediterranean. The collective investment sector is considered one of the drivers of modernization of the country’s economic model and the attraction of long-term capital.
The CIFA association confirms its readiness to support its members and promote Cyprus internationally as a reliable and predictable jurisdiction for the creation and management of investment funds. Current indicators demonstrate that the strategy of sustainable growth is already delivering tangible results and strengthening the country’s financial reputation.
