Welcome
This hub has been created to help anyone considering establishing a fund in the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, or the British Virgin Islands (BVI), and to provide the right level of guidance along the exciting journey to launch.
Depending on your experience, knowledge and readiness to begin, you can choose either to:
- complete our questionnaire to make use of our fast-track service; or
- explore your options and learn more about the relevant considerations that you should have in mind when structuring an offshore fund.
Why do I need an offshore or a Luxembourg fund?
Offshore fund vehicles are highly flexible, tax-efficient, appropriately regulated structures that allow you to issue fund interests to investors based all over the globe, which can be established quickly and cost-efficiently to ensure you meet both your budget and timeline.
Luxembourg funds provide a comparable degree of flexibility and efficiency while offering a familiar framework for EU investors and fund sponsors. In addition, the use of a Luxembourg fund enables managers to either operate on an unregulated basis or opt into the EEA-wide AIFM or UCITS passporting regimes. Luxembourg further distinguishes itself through a broad array of well-established, regulated, and non-regulated fund vehicles tailored to investors’ requirements and expectations.
