Luxembourg sovereign fund to invest €112m in private equity and real estate to boost tech and housing. The move marks a strategic shift for FSIL, which previously held no private market assets. Under its updated policy, up to 10% of the fund’s €745m portfolio will be invested in private equity and up to 4% in real estate, according to Finance Minister Gilles Roth. With annual government injections of €62m and expected investment returns, FSIL aims to reach €1bn in assets under management by 2030. Following the reallocation, equities and bonds will continue to represent around 82% of the portfolio, with the fund maintaining its ESG and socially responsible investment standards. Stéphane Pesch, CEO of the LPEA - Luxembourg Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, said the new allocation “will not only strengthen the local funds sector but also reinforce Luxembourg’s role as a hub for alternative investment management in Europe.” Learn how Luxembourg’s sovereign fund is using private equity to drive national growth and innovation: https://lnkd.in/dwhtCdbM #PEInsights #privateequity #investments #allocation

Can the European Union maintain competitiveness without the rise of a European defence? According to Anthony Penel and Caroline Gauthier, the portfolio managers of the Edmond de Rothschild Sicav Mission Europa fund, it is time for Europe to rediscover sovereignty. They point out that the Draghi report on the EU's competitiveness had already highlighted the link between economic competitiveness and defense on a European scale. Defense, energy, innovation, and financing are the pillars of our autonomy. And if European defence budgets increase, it is reindustrialisation, innovation and financial strategy that will secure our competitiveness. Investing in these key sectors today contributes to shaping tomorrow's freedom and economic stability.

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 At CACEIS, we have both a responsibility and the determination to expand European asset servicing and asset management businesses internationally, leveraging the expertise and robustness of Paris’s financial centre. Our role is to support our clients, who currently entrust us with two-thirds of French financial savings. Compliance and technology are central to this role. We are at a turning point: Technology, including AI, is a major driver of change. It streamlines our processes, strengthens our controls, and boosts our employees’ skillsets. It is a virtuous circle: the more skilled our staff become, the more our clients benefit from their high-level of expertise, and the more we build up Paris’s reputation as a strong, resilient, and innovative European financial centre at a time when we need to prioritise Europe’s financial sovereignty. Tomorrow’s financial world will be technological, but it must, above all, remain human and sovereign. 🙏 My thanks go to Finance Innovation, the Groupe Crédit Agricole Innovation team, our partners and panellists for making this second event such a success. #RegTechDay

With approximately EUR 125 billion in non-performing loans, France is one of the largest NPL markets in Europe. Not only is EOS well positioned in this market, our subsidiary EOS France is also one of the few companies that has been officially licensed by the French banking regulator L’Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR) for the management of non-performing loans. This underscores our expertise and commitment to responsible debt collection in France. Last year EOS France successfully acquired a bank portfolio with a nominal value of over EUR 200 million. The portfolio included circa 4,000 individual cases from various types of loans. "In this way, we contribute to a more stable and healthier financial environment," states Nathalie Lameyre, President of EOS in France. #EOSGroup #ReceivablesManagement #FinancialServices
