No matter who you talk to, global private equity has enjoyed a
period of enormous growth in the last few years and, in Luxembourg,
this has proven to be a key factor as it has looked to drive
interest, globally, in regulated private equity funds.
As the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI)
reported at the end of 2018, although the PE fund landscape is
still dominated by funds of €100 million or less in AUM, the
number of large PE funds (€500 million and above) has
increased to represent over 4 per cent of the total, with the
Reserved AIF fund structure and unregulated Limited Partnerships
representing 30 per cent of all Luxembourg-domiciled PE funds in
2018.
"Private equity funds are performing well and attracting
new investors and the boom seems to show no sign of ending,"
comments Ramón van Heusden, Head of Client
Services at
TMF Luxembourg.
