Regulation in Focus

At the Hamburg Fund Talks – the annual who’s who of the German fund industry – Lutz Boxberger, Managing Director and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of our Luxembourg AIFM, joined the panel on “Current Trends in Cross-Border Fund Structures” to discuss the growing importance of commercial fund structures in Germany and the need for robust, internationally compatible solutions.

Just a few days later, BAI Insight focused on practical, hands-on exchange. Following the opening address by our founder Jeremy Golding and a regulatory update by Frank Dornseifer (BAI), the panel featuring Lutz Boxberger, Dr Helder Schnittker (YPOG) and Philipp Jost (Arendt & Medernach) examined key structuring topics such as feeder-blocker structures and provided insights into the structuring toolbox. In the subsequent fireside chat, Christian Schnabel, CFA, and Lukas Eckhardt shared perspectives on the execution of AIFM mandates and delegated portfolio management, demonstrating how Golding creates value as a partner.

Key takeaways from both events:

• Cross-border structures remain complex and require experience, substance and foresight.
• Commercial fund structures continue to gain importance among German GPs and call for tailored, robust solutions with experienced partners, especially with regard to international investors.
• Strong AIFM partners with regulatory depth and operational excellence are becoming a decisive success factor.

This is precisely where our Luxembourg platform comes in—as an established partner with industry and structuring expertise: GP solutions and delegated portfolio management, combined with more than ten years of AIFM know-how, technical infrastructure and ESG expertise.

Luxembourg thus becomes the hub for stable, scalable and sustainable fund structures in the European context.
