Luxembourg: a prime location for structuring private equity investments and private equity funds

Benefiting from a flexible tax and legal environment, Luxembourg has been recognised for many years as a preeminent jurisdiction for structuring private equity funds and private equity deals.

Historically, Luxembourg’s private equity practice related to "Soparfis" (Sociétés de participation financière) as acquisition vehicles in private equity investments, allowing for efficient tax structuring with minimal legal and administrative requirements. However, it was the adoption in 2004 of the law on SICARs (Sociétés d’investissement à capital-risque) that really spurred the development of Luxembourg into a major centre for private equity.

The launch of the Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) in 2007 was a further step along the way to putting Luxembourg firmly on the map as "the" European jurisdiction for private equity funds and structuring.
