Blue Crane Finance ICAV - Blue Crane E&IF Fund (Sub-Fund)

Blue Crane Finance ICAV - Blue Crane E&IF Fund (Sub-Fund) is a sub-fund of an Irish collective asset-management vehicle, managed by Maples Fund Management Ireland Limited and authorised in Ireland as a QIAIF. It carries the ELTIF label under the ELTIF 2.0 framework, meaning the vehicle is structured to hold long-term, illiquid credit exposures while remaining within the marketing and eligible-asset rules of the regime. The umbrella ICAV form segregates the sub-fund's assets and liabilities from those of other compartments, and the vehicle dates from 2026.

The sub-fund invests in private debt on a multi-strategy basis, giving the manager scope to allocate across more than one lending or credit-instrument type rather than a single segment. It is organised as a closed-end vehicle, so capital is committed for the life of the fund and investors should not assume a dealing or redemption mechanism; realisations depend on the amortisation and exit of the underlying loan and credit positions rather than on periodic liquidity windows. The reporting and dealing currency is EUR, and access is limited to professional investors subject to a minimum commitment of 100,000 EUR.

For context, the vehicle is one of 148 private debt funds and one of 17 Ireland-domiciled funds tracked across a universe of 494, and one of 9 that combine both characteristics, which places it within a comparatively narrow set of Irish private credit vehicles using the long-term fund regime.
