Social impact

Luxembourg can justly claim to be the best European country in which to establish a responsible investment fund. The country combines a political commitment to social impact finance with an investor-friendly environment, public responsiveness to the industry’s needs, an experienced and flexible supervisory authority in the CSSF, and a highly skilled and multilingual community of professional service providers, as well as leading financial institutions.
