The Luxembourg Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (LPEA) will host a seminar in Chicago about Luxembourg as a hub for private equity investments. With a fast-growing private equity community estimated at EUR 400 billion and an increasing presence of US private equity fund managers, Luxembourg is the go-to jurisdiction to set up and operate your US investments in the EU market.
Featuring members such as Carlyle Group, Blackstone Group, Apollo Global Management, TPG, Oaktree Capital Management or Bain Capital, the LPEA is the leading association providing support to fund managers, knowledge sharing and networking opportunities and a first point of contact for professionals seeking the latest market update on best practices and applicable regulation.
