Structure and Implement Your Investment Vehicles in Luxembourg
Expert support for the structuring of investment funds, SPVs, SCSp, RAIF and holding companies, tailored to your objectives within a high-performing Luxembourg framework.
Structures for Different Investment Strategies
The Luxembourg legal and regulatory framework provides peerless flexibility to structure private equity, real estate, co-investments, and corporate asset holding.
Luxembourg SPV
Special Purpose Vehicle (Véhicule Ad Hoc)
Support for the structuring of vehicles dedicated to a specific transaction, including acquisitions, co-investments, real estate, private equity, project finance or asset holding.
Depending on the objectives of the project, different Luxembourg legal forms may be considered together with the relevant qualified professionals.
Luxembourg SCSp
Special Limited Partnership (Société en Commandite Spéciale)
A flexible contractual structure frequently used for private equity, venture capital, private debt, real estate, club deals and co-investment strategies.
The regulatory classification of an SCSp depends notably on its structure, investment policy, fundraising model and operating arrangements.
Luxembourg RAIF
Reserved Alternative Investment Fund (FIAR)
The RAIF is a Luxembourg alternative investment fund intended for well-informed investors.
It is not subject to prior product approval by the CSSF or direct supervision of the fund itself by the CSSF. It nevertheless operates within a specific regulatory framework and must notably appoint an authorised external AIFM and the service providers required under the applicable regulations.
A RAIF may be established under various Luxembourg legal forms, including S.A., Sàrl, SCA, SCS or SCSp.
Sàrl, S.A. and Corporate Vehicles
Commercial, Holding & Asset Structures
Depending on the nature of the project, a Sàrl, S.A. or another Luxembourg legal form may be used as an operating company, holding company, acquisition vehicle, investment company or asset-holding structure.
Opulanz supports the initial analysis and coordinates, where required, the involvement of appropriately qualified professionals.
Alternative Investment Structures
Certain Luxembourg structures, including SCS, SCSp or corporate vehicles, may be established without falling under a specific product regime such as the RAIF, SIF or SICAR.
Depending on their characteristics, investment strategy, fundraising model and investor base, such vehicles may nevertheless qualify as alternative investment funds and therefore fall within the rules applicable to AIFs and their managers.
Opulanz supports the initial analysis of the contemplated structure and coordinates the appropriate regulatory specialists where the project falls within the scope of investment fund regulation.
