In the frame of an evolving and more and more complex legal, tax and regulatory environment requiring inter alia a proper functioning corporate governance structure, the governing bodies (hereinafter referred to as the “Board”) of investment entities are faced with increased challenges to ensure a decisional process in compliance with their fiduciary duties by considering in particular the interests and protection of investors, the transparency principles and the management of potential conflicts of interest. Due to the increased delegation of central tasks by investment entities to specialised service providers (e.g. alternative investment fund managers, portfolio or asset managers) the ongoing monitoring of delegated functions has become crucial for the Board to enable a proper performance of its duties.

Accordingly, the establishment of effective reporting and the holding of regular meetings of the Board have become mandatory instruments for the proper discharge of the Board’s duties and hence the management of Board liability.

As a specialized independent service provider, established in 2016, we support the Board in the establishment of a proper corporate governance by providing ongoing corporate and directorship services in favor of the Board and the investment entities, being Luxembourg corporate entities of any form (including S.A./ S.à r.l./ SCSp/ SCS) whether regulated (e.g. SICAV-SIF) or unregulated (e.g. RAIF) having a particular focus on investing in or financing of real assets, including renewable energy (wind, photovoltaic, hydropower), real estate, and private equity.

The management team, Mr. Serge Dollendorf and Mr. Jean-Claude Michels, are both seasoned investment professionals, each having more than 20 years of experience in the Luxembourg investment environment, during which they held several senior positions including as fund lawyers and as head of legal, compliance, structuring and portfolio management departments. Furthermore they both serve since more than 10 years as board members in several governing bodies of investment entities focusing on a broad range of different investment strategies. 1 lawyer, 2 paralegal and 2 administrative employees currently complete the team.
