Luxembourg MASTER FUND SICAV RAIF Launch for European Real Estate Investments

Luxembourg MASTER FUND SICAV-RAIF Launch for European Real Estate Investments

Luxembourg has become Europe’s leading hub for structuring real estate investment platforms, offering a sophisticated legal framework, flexible fund vehicles, and a highly efficient cross-border tax environment. In this episode, we break down the essential structures that global asset managers, family offices, institutional investors, and real estate sponsors rely on when setting up their Luxembourg MASTER FUND strategies.

You will learn how to select the right investment vehicle—SICAV-RAIF, SLP/SCSp master-feeder setups, SIF, SICAR (for development risk), or a regulated AIF—based on your asset strategy, investor profile, risk appetite, and regulatory expectations. We explore how these structures operate, how they differ, and how they can be aligned with your commercial, operational, and tax objectives for European real estate deployment.
