Luxembourg, a first choice position for regulated real estate funds

Regulated Real Estate Funds for foreign investments attracted by Luxembourg, according ALFI ("Luxembourg Investment Fund Association").

In 2014, number of these funds have significantly increased and at the middle of the year 2015, Luxembourg hosted 315 real estate funds, which represents a total of 39.2 billion Euros during the first semester of 2015.

Luxembourg confirms its position as a first choice domicile for real estate funds aiming at an international investment with a cross-border distribution. If Luxembourg is more and more often used as a distribution platform for non-EU managers, mostly from America, Asia, and Middle East, the majority of them still come from Europe.

ALFI also mentions that the number of funds with assets of more than 400 million Euros is in progression, but the most important increase can be observed for smaller funds, of less that 100 million Euros. And 87% of funds have less than 25 investors.

Luxembourg, by its flexibility and the frame set-up to ensure a rapid establishment of funds is more attractive than ever. And this trend is confirmed by the creation of several Special Investment Funds ("SIF") during the first months of 2015. Incorporation of such funds can start with a minimum of 1 Millions Eur under management and our team can help any promoters, fund manager or family to benefit from the flexibility and the numerous advantages offered by this flexible legislation.
