With the increasing popularity of alternative investments, in particular in the areas of private equity, private debt and real estate, we have witnessed that there is more demand in realising such investments via Luxembourg alternative investment fund structures (the “AIFs”) by international eligible investors. In the EU, AIFs were introduced by the Alternative Investment Fund Manager Directive (Directive 2011/61/EU, the “AIFM Directive”), which regulates managers of funds other than those under the Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities Directive (Directive 2009/65/EC).
The alternative investment industry is developing new ways of sharing data across the whole value chain – from portfolio companies and holdings to funds and investors – and from asset servicers to asset managers and asset owners. Luxembourg, as a fund domicile, has been building its niche of expertise in this space and evolving to better serve the whole eco-system as the appeal of particular asset classes continues to grow.
Luxembourg’s alternative investment fund sector has grown significantly, with fund numbers rising from 4,568 in 2018 to 6,932 in 2021. More specifically, the private debt and real estate segments have experienced upticks in light of growing investor appetite for these assets, driven by the current market turbulence and uncertain environment.
