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.”
