AIM Hospitality Fund incorporates Environmental, Social and Governance considerations and has recently been classified as an Article 8 Fund of the European Commission's Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
High-end tourist segments are looking for more exclusive and authentic experiences as well as the ability to immerse themselves in the local culture without compromising on service quality.

The existence of several financial incentives to the development of rustic assets and further conversion into local accommodation units can significantly foster our fund’s profitability.

The fund is managed by an experienced local team with significant expertise in developing and unlocking value from poorly managed properties to sustainable and successful assets.
