The discussions focused on the successful UCITS structures as well as on alternative investments funds in relation to which Luxembourg is developing rapidly in an environment where the unregulated to regulated trend is increasingly shaping the investment fund industry.

The Seminar was led by partners Jacques Elvinger, Gast Juncker and our future Hong Kong resident partner Katia Panichi.  The large audience  showed particular interest in the panel discussion with Christina Choi of the SFC and Jean-Marc Goy of the CSSF, who gave interesting insights into the most recent regulatory developments in their respective jurisdictions with regard to UCITS and AIFMD.

Marc, together with Ulrich Grabenwarter (Head of Development: Impact Investing at European Investment Fund & Visiting Professor at IESE, Barcelona),  will be discussing how social impact companies have the potential to become tomorrow's structure for Responsible Investing by facilitating, in one single corporate structure,  the cooperation of investors seeking social  impact only and investors seeking a financial return on their investment as well. Social Impact Companies may thus develop into a unique investment target for social entrepreneurship investment funds."
