AIFMD fund acquisitions in Luxembourg.
Luxembourg remains the largest cross-border fund centre in Europe. Sub-scale SIFs, SICARs, Part II funds and RAIFs are now facing a step-change in AIFMD II substance, liquidity management and reporting obligations. For many managers, the fixed cost of a fully staffed Luxembourg platform is no longer proportionate to assets under management.
Common situations we see in the CSSF market.
The AIFM platform is over-engineered for the current AUM, and the manager is considering a transfer of management or a wind-down.
A founder-led SICAR or Part II fund has reached maturity and the GP wishes to crystallise value rather than run a long-tail vehicle.
A family office or single-deal structure was set up in Luxembourg but is no longer commercially active.
The manager is weighing the cost of AIFMD II implementation against the economics of continuing the fund.
