Establishing an investment fund

15 Jan 2010

Luxembourg has truly positioned itself as Europe’s premier location for fund domiciliation. Some 30,000 fund structures are domiciled in the Grand-Duchy. It is characterised by a no-nonsense regulator, a wide selection of company forms to match eg. UK and US legal structures, a professional and multilingual supply of Management Companies able to serve as the administrative hub for cross-border distribution. When taken together with the ubiquity of Luxembourg SICAV, and, increasingly, the AIF regime, Luxembourg offers everything an asset manager could wish for.

But still, it is not a simple thing to set up a fund from outside Luxembourg. There is no shortage of lawyers, auditors and consultants willing to help. Yet something is often missing, namely the practical knowledge being the portfolio manager. This is often what is the missing link in connecting all the other service providers.

Origo Consulting offers assistance in setting up a fund based on many years of experience in virtually every aspect of running an investment fund. We work together with a select number of other service providers and we are able to put together a group that can deliver on your desired fund structure – and follow the process through to the end.
