Luxembourg’s fund centre remains a global reference point – the leading hub for Ucits and a dominant platform for Alternative Investment Funds. Yet Europe’s financial landscape is evolving. Dublin, Frankfurt and Paris are rolling out the red carpet, attracting new managers, and competing more aggressively for cross‑border business.
As private debt, private equity, tokenised assets and other alternative strategies scale rapidly, the question is no longer whether competition will intensify – but how Luxembourg can reinforce its first‑mover advantages in structuring, distribution, oversight and innovation.
Our expert panel will examine the forces reshaping Europe’s fund ecosystem. What are Luxembourg’s strategic strengths? Where are the pressure points? And what must the industry do today to remain the jurisdiction of choice tomorrow?
Join us for a forward‑looking discussion on the future of the Luxembourg fund centre – and the competitive horizon it must navigate.
Panellists include:
Emilie Allaert, director of digital assets products, Standard Chartered
Nathalie Bausch, CEO, DWS Investment Luxembourg
Corinne Lamesch, deputy CEO and general counsel, Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (Alfi)
Kristof Meynaerts, funds and asset management partner, A&O Shearman
The panel is moderated by Luxembourg Times finance journalist Kabir Agarwal.
