Classic FirstTuesday on The Luxembourg Business Environment

Leadership position in the investment fund administration sector Luxembourg is the leader in Europe for the administration of investment funds in terms of net assets volume, second in the world only to the United States.

13 May 2003 - 13 May 2003
Belgium
This success is particularly due to a number of important factors contributing to the industry's growth:
- Luxembourg's clear and flexible legislation in this respect, allowing for the rapid creation of investment funds;,- As the first European country to adopt the EC's UCITS Directive 85/611/EEC in 1988, Luxembourg maintained a strong leadership position in the investment fund administration sector. It is expected that Luxembourg will have a similar success with the implementation of UCITS III;,- Development of deep competencies in the entire central administration process (transfer agent, fund administration, alternative investment products, etc.) and the anticipation of needs with respect to distribution channels (M&A, call centres, Internet, funds supermarkets, orders routing platforms etc.).,As a result, Luxembourg is now the first country of choice for the pan-European creation and distribution of investment funds.
In co-operation with Ernst and Young.
A panel will discuss and elaborate the findings:
