Foreign investors can set up various
types of investment funds in Luxembourg, as it is known that the Grand Duchy is the home of the investment funds industry. Another fact is that most of the laws related to the establishment of investment funds are first set up and implemented in Luxembourg, which is why the number of professional investors is very high here. One of the most employed types of funds is the
retail fund. There are two
types of retail funds which can be registered
in Luxembourg:
Open-ended retail funds in Luxembourg
Luxembourg open-ended retail funds can take the form of UCITS and UCIS funds. The first step to
set up an open-ended retail fund is to select the suitable type of company, or better said investment vehicle, and then register it with the
Trade Register. After that, the retail fund must submit the following documents with the Luxembourg Financial Authority (the CSSF) for approval:
-
- an application form;
-
- the investment company’s registration documents;
-
- the management rules, in the case of common investment funds;
-
- the prospectus;
-
- the agreement with the depositary;
-
- information about the board of directors of the company;
-
- the risk management procedures.
Closed-ended retail funds in Luxembourg
In order to establish a
closed-ended retail fund in Luxembourg, one can must choose between the following types of
investment companies:
-
- companies with variable capital;
-
- companies with fixed capital;
-
- common investment funds (FCP).
With the mention that the FCP is not a corporate entity, the same vehicles can be used to set up open-ended retail funds in Luxembourg. Also, both types of retail funds can be marketed to professional and retail investors.
