Luxembourg Fund Structures
Luxembourg is Europe’s most important cross-border investment funds domicile, both for mutual (UCITS) as well as for alternative investment funds (AIF). The Luxembourg investment funds model has traditionally been based on sound regulation at product level but the AIFM Directive introduced a manager regulation with certain product regulation features. By June 2017, there were more than 4,000 UCIs, comprising 14,674 compartments (often referred to as sub-funds), with net assets of approximately €4 trillion.
