Cyprus sits at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, making it an ideal hub for cross-border investments and international fund structures.

Cyprus is a full member of the European Union (since 2004) and the Eurozone (since 2008)
The financial services sector is supervised by established regulators, and the regulatory framework is aligned with EU legislation and ESMA guidelines.

Cyprus has developed a strong investment fund ecosystem, including Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), RAIFs, and UCITS. The sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, with assets under management exceeding €20 billion across hundreds of funds and sub-funds.

Cyprus offers one of the most attractive corporate tax regimes in the EU:

• 15% corporate tax rate
• No withholding tax on dividends paid to non-resident investors
• Extensive double tax treaty network (60+ countries)
• Participation exemption for dividends and capital gains in many cases.

Cyprus has one of the highest tertiary education rates in the EU, with a large pool of professionals trained in finance, law, accounting and investment management.
Operating costs in Cyprus are significantly lower than those in other EU financial hubs such as Luxembourg, Ireland or London, while maintaining full compliance with EU regulatory standards.
