Fund Structuring

Finding your path over the numerous vehicles

Luxembourg is Europe’s most important cross-border investment funds domicile, both for mutual (UCITS) and alternative investment funds (AIF). However, in a changing international, legal, regulatory and fiscal framework, it’s difficult to keep a balance between having a solid structuring framework and keeping innovation at a steady pace.

Our Fund structuring group is composed of tax professionals from a strong local and international network, offering consistently high quality services, coordinated across as many territories or as you require. We can come up with solutions both from an investment and an investor perspective to help setting-up your fund in Luxembourg.

Your challenges

But amongst the wide offer in terms of fund vehicles, which one to choose? These are some of the main topics to address:

  • Time to market
  • Maintenance cost

  • Subscription tax
  • Corporate tax
  • VAT
  • Withholding tax

  • Access to the EU marketing passport

  • Corporate governance (partnership vs. corporation vs. contractual arrangement)
  • Compartments available
  • Variability of capital

All these elements can be coordinated and monitored at a global level from Luxembourg. Since the choice of an investment fund structure is driven by tax and regulatory requirements, our dedicated teams work closely together to bring you the best solutions.
