Why Luxembourg?

Leading global financial centre 

Luxembourg is one of the largest global financial centres, benefiting from flexible and attractive legal, regulatory and tax regimes and a significant concentration of professional service providers to the financial services industry. 

Luxembourg's investment funds industry ranks as the largest EU fund domicile jurisdiction and the second largest fund domicile jurisdiction globally. 

The jurisdiction's sophisticated financial services infrastructure, global brand recognition, full EU single market access and extensive double tax treaty network has also led to its development as a core domicile for non-fund investment structures. This has resulted in the domiciling of several tens of thousands of investment holding companies, many of which form part of globally recognised corporate groups or hold the portfolio investments of leading international investment funds. 

Luxembourg's securitisation vehicle forms a third principal pillar of its financial services sector. 

Reputation for stability 

As a leading global jurisdiction for the establishment of investment vehicles, Luxembourg has demonstrated one of the most solid track records of stability, with a AAA credit rating, low levels of sovereign debt and one of the highest per capita GDPs globally. This economic and political stability, allied to the legal, regulatory and fiscal attributes of its financial services industry, has resulted in Luxembourg's position as a premier-ranking global fund domicile. 

Global regulatory change is giving increasing prominence to the use of complementary structures tailored to the needs of particular clients and particular target investor groups. Luxembourg has a strong track record of successfully adapting to regulatory change to the benefit of clients and investors.
