About

Provided by Arendt & Medernach

Arendt's investment management practice is the market leader in Luxembourg thanks to the expert advice it provides, combining pragmatism and in-depth knowledge of the sector. Our clients encompass all kinds of firms, from small start-ups to niche boutiques and the biggest international asset managers.

This diversity means we work on a comprehensive range of funds, encompassing UCITS and alternative investment funds, strategies ranging from plain vanilla stock-picking to sophisticated use of complex instruments, and assets including money market instruments and stocks, as well as less traditional investments such as carbon emissions, vessels, artworks and royalties.

Our expertise is derived also from our strong long-term relationship with industry regulator Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier(CSSF), built through daily contact and involvement in strategic committees and working groups. Our active involvement in the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI) enables us to voice our clients' concerns and ensure they are adequately addressed.

With a deep pool of legal expertise in our investment fund practice and representative offices in other leading financial centres including London, New York, Hong Kong, Moscow and Paris, we are ready to assist our clients however innovative or complex their projects may be.
