Holdings, SOPARFI & wealth in Luxembourg

Structuring participation holding and private wealth: SOPARFI, SPF, holding, family office.

16 services
In short

This hub serves investors and families holding participations or wealth through Luxembourg. It covers the SOPARFI and SPF, participation exemption, strategic, acquisition and real estate structuring, plus family office and succession.

What is a SOPARFI and an SPF in Luxembourg?

The SOPARFI is a fully taxable Luxembourg company whose purpose is holding and financing participations; subject to conditions, it benefits from the exemption of dividends and capital gains (participation exemption). The SPF is a private wealth-management vehicle reserved for individuals, with no commercial activity.

The choice between SOPARFI and SPF depends on the assets and the objective: active holding and tax treaties for the SOPARFI, passive wealth management for the SPF.

Structuring participation holding and private wealth

This hub structures participation holding and private wealth: holding, strategic, acquisition and real estate structuring, family office, succession and private banking. Each structure is scoped to your tax position, co-investors and horizon.

Substance and compliance: securing your holding

A Luxembourg holding is only effective if its substance is real: office, governance, accounting and decisions taken in Luxembourg. We ensure ATAD substance, accounting and compliance, for a structure defensible before authorities and banks.

Frequently asked questions

SOPARFI or SPF: which to choose?
The SOPARFI suits active holding of participations with tax-treaty access; the SPF, reserved for individuals, suits passive wealth management with no commercial activity.
What is the participation exemption?
It is the regime that exempts, subject to threshold and holding-period conditions, the dividends and capital gains a SOPARFI receives from its qualifying subsidiaries.
Does a holding need substance?
Yes. Real substance (office, governance, accounting, local decisions) is required for tax security and treaty access, in line with ATAD rules.
