Private Equity in Luxembourg

Your guide to set up and manage your Private Equity and Venture Capital structure in Luxembourg.

At the heart of Luxembourg´s success as an international PE hub lies the ability to reconcile long-term stability with short-term adaptability. Since the previous edition of this brochure, the most notable development is the tremendous success of the RAIF, the latest addition to our Luxembourg toolbox, which has attracted investors of all types to launch investment vehicles out of Luxembourg. This is to be seen in the perspective of the gradual shift towards deal making substance in Luxembourg based structures, as driven by more stringent OECD requirements. PE in Luxembourg thus employs a several thousand people today, some of whom are middle or front office positions.”

In practice, this ability to combine stability and agility means that PE investors who elect Luxembourg as a domicile for their structure and/or teams, be they GPs, LPs or Family Offices, are able to:

Choose from a wide range of legal entities, to suit their AuM size, strategy and end investor base
• Work from an EU-compliant jurisdiction that stays abreast of the latest legal and tax developments
• Benefit from the support of public stakeholders who are well aware of the strategic importance of our industry for the local economy
• Get support from a professional and international pool of advisers who are able to work in different languages, all physically present in Luxembourg.

Our growing base of members, especially GPs and LPs, is a demonstration of Luxembourg´s dynamism as a PE hub that can cater to a wide range of needs. With over 250 members, 50% of whom are end investors, LPEA also offers a great exchange platform for newcomers to Luxembourg – and intends to continue its work as “thought leader” and “matchmaker” between talent and money.
