CLIENT SEGMENTS

“Luxembourg is the second largest investment fund centre in the world after the United States, the premier captive

reinsurance market in the European Union and the premier private banking centre in the Eurozone. The financial sector is

the largest contributor to the Luxembourg economy. From its origins as a Euroloan centre, the city subsequently

developed as a private banking centre and then, from the 1980s, as a leading domicile for investment funds. The success

of the financial centre is founded on the social and political stability of the Grand Duchy and on a modern legal and

regulatory framework that is continuously updated, inspired by regular consultation between the government, the

legislator and the private sector. Thus, over the years, specific regulatory frameworks have been created for alternative

investment funds, venture capital investment funds, international pension funds, specialised investment funds, captive

reinsurance companies, covered bond issuing banks, securitisation vehicles and family wealth management companies.

This legal framework, combined with Luxembourg’s openness to the world, has attracted banks, insurance companies,

investment fund promoters and specialist service providers from all over the world. The Luxembourg financial centre is

characterised by a strong culture of investor protection and rigorous anti money-laundering policies. Its specialist teams

are multilingual and multicultural, with a long tradition of financial expertise and extensive knowledge of the needs of an

international clientele.”
