ALFI Roadshow to Asia
Cross-border fund distribution in the spotlight
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.
