Our funds lawyers advise on the fund formation and structuring of all types of Luxembourg funds, regulated and non-regulated, including open-ended, closed-ended and hybrid funds across a variety of investment strategies including private equity, debt, real estate, venture capital, infrastructure, special situations, and structured products.

Our lawyers also assist investors with the due diligence for their investments in Luxembourg vehicles and have considerable expertise in sustainable investing and impact funds, supporting clients with EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

Our lawyers are at the forefront of the Luxembourg and European regulatory landscape and have a proven track record in assisting clients with the setup of AIFMs, fund administrator and other regulated entities.

Why Luxembourg for investment funds?

Luxembourg is the largest European fund domicile and second globally after the US, with €5.6 trillion in AUM, thanks to its alternative investment toolbox and sponsor-friendly limited partnerships.

The total AUM in alternatives domiciled in Luxembourg reached approximately €2 trillion in 2024. A Luxembourg-Cayman parallel fund structure is one of the preferred products for sophisticated managers seeking to access European, US and Asian capital.

Parallel fund structures are a continuingly growing trend in the funds industry due to the customised solutions they offer to potential investors and the possibility for fund sponsors establishing sizeable funds to reach a much larger investor base for any given investment strategy, with an efficient cost structure.

Turnkey solutions designed by leading law firms, such as Ogier, for fund sponsors looking to accommodate the increasing demands of professional and institutional investors, are being developed across the investment funds spectrum.

Ogier's CAYLUX service is a collaboration between our Cayman and Luxembourg teams on matters including fund finance, parallel funds, complex cross-border transactions and corporate migrations.
