Luxembourg ManCos: Continued Growth

This year, PwC in Luxembourg published its 7^th annual Observatory for Management Companies (ManCos) report to analyse key figures and trends in the industry.

This edition showed continued positive trends for ManCos based in the Grand Duchy with growth of 22% in Assets Under Management (AUM) over the year to €5,314bn.

Despite a geopolitical uncertainty, challenging market conditions and an ever-evolving regulatory environment, Luxembourg ManCos continue to show a strong ability to adapt and an agility to create opportunities amid ongoing uncertainty within the financial services sector.

Luxembourg is the largest investment fund centre in Europe and the second largest in the world after the US.

JTC's acquisition of Exequtive Partners was announced on 26 March 2019, enhancing and strengthening our corporate and funds offering, and increasing our Luxembourg presence with a very high-quality, fast-growing business.
