For years, Luxembourg’s Asset Management and Asset Servicing sectors have relied on cross-border workers from neighboring countries: Germany, France, and Belgium to meet the increasing demand for skilled professionals. However, with the sector continuing to grow at a rapid pace, the question arises: are we fully leveraging the potential of attracting young talent from a broader, even global, talent pool?
To explore this, the Luxembourg Asset Service Provider Senior Leader Roundtable (ASP SLR) community launched a dedicated Working Group in 2023. Their goal? To assess how Generation Z, both local residents and those abroad, perceive Luxembourg as a potential destination for career opportunities and what factors influence their decision-making.
The findings of this survey provide valuable insights for the industry, policymakers, and employers alike. Understanding what motivates Gen Z can help shape recruitment strategies and workplace policies to make Luxembourg the top destination for young talent.

Next Steps: From Insight to Action
The survey highlights the importance of moving beyond traditional talent attraction methods. To ensure Luxembourg remains competitive in securing the next generation of financial leaders, companies and industry stakeholders must:
Strengthen employer branding and showcase career growth opportunities.
Address practical concerns such as housing and work-life balance.
Foster a workplace culture that aligns with Gen Z’s values, including flexibility, diversity, and purpose-driven work.
By proactively shaping Luxembourg’s value proposition for Gen Z professionals, the industry can unlock a vital talent pool and ensure sustainable growth. Now is the time to act and establish Luxembourg as the employer of choice for the future workforce.
