AIFM and management company support in Luxembourg, accounting, reporting and substance.
Financial Services Luxembourg supports AIFMs and ManCos on their back office: company accounting, regulatory reporting, substance and governance. Regulated management and authorisation remain with the authorised AIFM. Financial Services Luxembourg works on accounting, substance and reporting; CSSF authorisation and reserved acts are coordinated with our network of partner lawyers and notaries.
AIFM/ManCo support covers the back-office functions of a Luxembourg alternative fund manager: management company accounting, regulatory reporting assistance, substance and governance. It does not constitute the exercise of regulated management.
Law of 12 July 2013 on alternative investment fund managers (transposing the AIFM Directive 2011/61/EU), AIFMD II developments (Directive (EU) 2024/927); applicable CSSF circulars.
