Real Estate: Building your business future

Luxembourg has emerged as the leading domicile in Europe for vehicles investing directly in internationally diversified real estate portfolios. Key factors behind Luxembourg’s success include the flexible legal and fiscal environment, the ability to structure cross-border investment strategies and investors’ desire to diversify their portfolios.
The 2007 Specialized Investment Fund law significantly simplified the rules for setting up structures such as real estate funds in Luxembourg, further enhancing Luxembourg as a “domicile of choice” for such products. This is a further boost to the Luxembourg real estate investment fund market, which was already growing strongly.
