With a challenging year 2024 behind them, alternative market players continue to navigate significant hurdles into early 2025. In the current financial market environment, co-investments, continuation funds, and secondary transactions have solidified their importance within the alternative investment fund sector. Now more than ever, selecting the right jurisdiction for fund domicile and carefully structuring underlying investments are critical to addressing these evolving challenges.
With its stable political and legal framework, Luxembourg remains a favored jurisdiction for establishing investment platforms for asset managers. The continued growth in assets under management reaffirms investors' confidence in Luxembourg-based funds, underscoring the jurisdiction's appeal in meeting the demands of today's dynamic investment landscape.
In Italy, investments in the private equity and real estate sector are increasingly effected by Luxembourg-based funds. As the Italian tax system has recently seen the introduction of a number of new rules which may have the effect of eliminating tax inefficiencies for the investments from abroad by qualifying funds, the conveyance of investments by Luxembourg funds in Italy, if properly structured, may lead to a very efficient regime.
After an overview of the typical investment fund structures available in Luxembourg including the recent tax developments in this field by ATOZ Tax Advisers Direct Tax Partners, Olivier Remacle and Petya Dimitrova, Maisto e Associati Partners, Mauro Messi and Stefano Tellarini will discuss and explain some of the new rules applicable to qualifying foreign investment vehicles, such as on withholding taxes and real estate securitisation vehicles.
