Luxembourg sovereign fund to invest €112m in private equity and real estate to boost tech and housing. The move marks a strategic shift for FSIL, which previously held no private market assets. Under its updated policy, up to 10% of the fund’s €745m portfolio will be invested in private equity and up to 4% in real estate, according to Finance Minister Gilles Roth. With annual government injections of €62m and expected investment returns, FSIL aims to reach €1bn in assets under management by 2030. Following the reallocation, equities and bonds will continue to represent around 82% of the portfolio, with the fund maintaining its ESG and socially responsible investment standards. Stéphane Pesch, CEO of the LPEA - Luxembourg Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, said the new allocation “will not only strengthen the local funds sector but also reinforce Luxembourg’s role as a hub for alternative investment management in Europe.” Learn how Luxembourg’s sovereign fund is using private equity to drive national growth and innovation: https://lnkd.in/dwhtCdbM #PEInsights #privateequity #investments #allocation

🚨 Luxembourg Tax Alert: Clearer rules for investment funds 👉https://lnkd.in/em8E_sTs On 22 August 2025, the Luxembourg tax authorities published new guidance on how to define a Collective Investment Vehicle (CIV) under the tax law. 👉 Why does it matter? Because funds that don’t qualify as a CIV may fall under the reverse hybrid rules and become subject to corporate income tax. The circular brings clarity by confirming that CIVs include well-known Luxembourg structures such as: ✔️ UCIs (Undertakings for Collective Investment) ✔️ SIFs (Specialized Investment Funds) ✔️ RAIFs (Reserved Alternative Investment Funds) It also explains how to assess 3 key conditions: 1. Widely held → marketed to diverse investors (with flexibility during launch/liquidation phases) 2. Diversified portfolio → not overly concentrated, with thresholds inspired by SIF rules 3. Investor protection → supervision by CSSF or an AIFM under AIFMD 💡 In practice: this guidance aligns with current market practice but is a welcome step toward simplifying complex tax concepts and giving fund managers more certainty. At KPMG Luxembourg, our team is here to help you understand what these changes could mean for your investment structures. #Luxembourg #Tax #InvestmentFunds #ATAD2 #KPMG KPMG Luxembourg KPMG US KPMG UK LPEA - Luxembourg Private Equity & Venture Capital Association ALFI - Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry
