Sustainable finance and ESG funds

Our investment fund team supports promoters wishing to establish a Luxembourg ESG fund in finding the appropriate investment vehicle to meet their requirements and goals from a marketing, regulatory and legal perspective.

We provide advice on the full spectrum of Luxembourg investment vehicles and fund regimes, including specialised investment funds (SIF), reserved alternative investment funds (RAIF), and unregulated common limited partnerships (SCS) and special limited partnerships (SCSp). We also offer insights into structuring your investment vehicle as a European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF), European Venture Capital Fund (EuVECA), or European Social Entrepreneurship Fund (EuSEF).

In particular, our team also:

  • Assists fund managers in preparing SFDR-related disclosures, whether they are article 6, 8 or 9 SFDR.
  • Helps clients establish impact advisory committees and draft impact policies.
  • Assists clients with drafting fund documentation, reviewing service provider agreements, making regulatory filings with the CSSF (if necessary), and incorporating both the general partner and the fund.
  • Introduces clients to service providers that meet their requirements, including custodian banks, AIFMs, fund administrators, registrars and transfer agents, and auditors.
  • Provides corporate support services throughout the fund’s life cycle, such as amending fund documents, restructuring, and launching or closuring of sub-funds.
  • Advises on AIFMD-related issues.
