The book deals with the Luxembourgish legal and regulatory framework on investment funds and companies managing investment funds (mancos). Particularly, the study looks at corporate governance issues analysing both company law provisions (lex generalis) and regulatory provisions applicable to investment funds and mancos (lex specialis). Against this backdrop, the book also pays substantial attention to the framework applicable to private equity funds, which is a sector which has been booming in Luxembourg over the last few years. Importantly, the book tackles these issues with an approach that combines legal theoretical analysis and practitioner-driven discussions. It will be of interest to lawyers, accountants, practitioners working for funds and mancos alongside researchers and students of financial regulation and financial law.
