The regulators’ priorities and new opportunities for your business

Hear from experts on the latest legal and regulatory hot topics that are relevant for the setting up, the operation as well as the cross-border distribution of your investment fund range in Luxembourg. The panel will touch upon the challenges asset managers have to cope with when complying with regulatory requirements, in particular when the approaches adopted by supervisory authorities in various jurisdictions are not harmonised. Learn from professionals how to overcome these regulatory challenges and how to successfully use the advantages offered by Luxembourg as the centre for the global distribution of your investment fund range.

Cross-Border Distribution and ESG : What can Luxembourg offer to the Nordics?

A favourable regulatory environment has established Luxembourg as a leading financial hub for cross-border fund distribution. ESG and sustainable finance are deeply rooted in Nordic investors/fund promotors and Luxembourg strives to serve as the preferred hub for ESG fund distribution. The pragmatic approach to ESG and SFDR, applied both by Luxembourg-based service providers and the supervisory authority, offers a great opportunity for Nordic investors/fund promotors to incorporate sustainability into their financial services. The speakers on this panel will discuss the synergies between ESG and cross-border distribution and the opportunities of the Luxemburg fund market for Nordic investors.
