ALFI London Conference
Synergies for asset management
Raoul joined Linklaters Luxembourg in 2012 and specialises in the structuring, setting up and distribution of a wide range of investment funds, with a particular focus on alternative investment funds investing in all major asset classes including real estate, debt, and infrastructure.
He has also gained deep knowledge of retail investment funds (notably UCITS) by advising major global asset managers on their multibillion Luxembourg flagship funds.
In parallel, Raoul advises global financial institutions on a variety of regulatory matters, notably licencing requirements, major financial services regulations (e.g. MiFID, AIFMD, PSD, AML), and Luxembourg regulatory aspects of acquisitions and group restructurings.
Raoul is part of several working groups of the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI), including on fund distribution, MiFID 2 and FinTech, as well as of the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA). He is also part of the Payments Forum and FinTech and Innovation Forum of the Luxembourg Bankers’ Association (ABBL).
Raoul is admitted to the Luxembourg Bar. He is fluent in English, German, French and Luxembourgish.
Speaking at
It is safe to say that the retailisation of private assets is one of the recent megatrends of the investment fund industry.
Asset managers throughout the entire asset spectrum are moving beyond their traditional institutional customer base, and tapping into additional capital from high-net-worth individuals and family offices.
The panellists will discuss the key drivers of this trend, including so-called “access vehicles” to traditional private funds, as well as recent changes to the ELTIF regime and its UK equivalent - the LTAF.
They will also examine potential challenges such as valuation, liquidity and the handling of a greater number of investors and discuss how the market is likely to develop in the coming years.
