Bahrain domiciled expert CIUs are, in short, subject to mostly the same requirements applicable to Bahrain domiciled retail CIUs. In return to being limited to expert investors, however, they are subject to fewer investment restrictions and can utilize more liberal borrowing and stock-lending limits. The looser investment restrictions allow them, amongst other things, to invest in additional asset classes (such as real estate and commodities, unlisted securities, and to offer funds of hedge funds).
