RAIF, SIF and SICAR are the three Luxembourg regimes for professional investors. They differ in who supervises them, how fast they launch and how they are taxed. Choose a regime below to see the timeline, the providers you need and the annual subscription tax.

1. Choose the regime
Timelines are typical ranges once the fund documents are agreed, not a promise. Tax figures are the subscription tax on net assets only. We confirm everything for your fund on a call.
All three are open to well-informed investors: institutional or professional investors, or others who confirm their status in writing and invest at least EUR 100,000.
A RAIF needs no CSSF approval, so it launches in weeks rather than months, while investors still get a fund run by an authorised, supervised manager. A SIF or SICAR makes sense when your investors require a directly supervised product.
We help you choose, then coordinate the manager, depositary, administrator and auditor so that the vehicle is ready for your first closing.
We handle the corporate side and coordinate the licensed providers. You deal with one adviser, at a fixed fee.

You raise from professional investors in several countries
Luxembourg funds are recognised across Europe and beyond.

A RAIF with an authorised AIFM can use the EU passport.

You raise from retail investors
These regimes are for well-informed investors only.
You need to launch in two weeks
Fund providers need time to onboard; start early.
Set-up and running costs depend mostly on the AIFM, depositary, administrator and auditor you appoint. We send a fixed quote for our part and collect provider quotes for you.
A RAIF must always appoint an authorised external AIFM. A SIF or SICAR that qualifies as an alternative investment fund also needs one above the AIFMD thresholds. We coordinate licensed managers; we are not one.
A RAIF usually launches in one to two months once the documents are agreed. A SIF or SICAR needs CSSF approval first, which typically takes several months.
An annual tax on net assets: 0.01% for a RAIF or SIF. A SICAR pays none, and a RAIF investing in risk capital can opt for the SICAR regime instead.
Yes, a RAIF can convert into a SIF or SICAR if investors later require direct CSSF supervision.
