Luxembourg offers multiple fund structures for private equity transactions. Specialised Investment Fund, or SIF, is the most flexible investment fund structure, that can be used for multiple asset classes and investment strategies, including Private Equity deals. The Luxembourg SIF is a supervised corporate vehicle and usually reserved for professional or qualified investors. It has low diversification requirements and can also be established as an umbrella fund with multiple sub-funds, thus allowing for multiple deals in the same structure. A Luxembourg Specialised Investment Fund can also qualify to obtain an AIFMD passport, given that it satisfies some mandatory conditions. The Luxembourg Investment Company in Risk Capital, or SICAR, is also a supervised investment vehicle. The main purpose of the SICAR is to invest in risk-bearing assets, and is meant to be used as a vehicle for professional and qualified investors. SICARs are not obliged to follow risk-spreading obligations or diversification requirements. A Luxembourg SICAR can also qualify to obtain an AIFMD passport, given that it satisfies some mandatory conditions.
