I OVERVIEW OF M&A ACTIVITY

M&A activity remained relatively strong in Luxembourg in 2016 and 2017, despite a global slowdown due to the uncertainties resulting from Britain's decision to leave the European Union and key global elections. Some of the reasons therefor are Luxembourg's regulatory and legislative framework, its legal and political stability and its domestic market, in particular its fund industry and financial sector.

Luxembourg remains the largest investment funds centre in Europe, and the second-largest in the world behind the United States. At the close of March 2017, the net assets under management in Luxembourg amount to €3.943 billion.2 Hence, the investment funds industry continues to play a major role in stabilising the Luxembourg market.
