Introduction
Luxembourg is strongly positioned to benefit from a combination of beneficial factors affecting this important market sector:
- Fund managers and investors have been seeking regulated as opposed to unregulated off-shore vehicles and have been exploiting the possibilities of UCITS funds in this context.
- Changes relating to the Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) directive are helping Luxembourg establish itself as an important alternative fund centre.
- Appetite is growing once again for absolute return type solutions.
For all these reasons, IFBL and ALFI have decided to provide unique training opportunities in Luxembourg, targeting those who are directly involved in the day to day work.
Structure and contents
The training offer includes three training modules.
The M1 (theoretical) module provides a theoretical basis and common language for understanding hedge funds. The M2 (applied) modules then provide a valuable market accepted view on specific applied, operational, accounting and IFRS aspects.
Importantly all courses provide a practical explanation to those involved in hedge fund administration and concentrate on those matters most relevant to Luxembourg in this context.
Audience and objectives
The Hedge Funds modules have been designed for the following persons:
-Hedge fund service providers
-Back office agents
-Fund accountants
-Operations & client service managers
-Those involved in hedge fund custody
-Those interested in gaining a deeper knowledge in the specifics of hedge funds, accounting and custody.
Exams
Optional exams are available for all those seeking to certifiy their experience through recognised examinations.
Exam sessions take place every Tuesday and every last Thursday of each month except on school holiday weeks in Luxembourg. The participant’s choice is to be indicated on the registration form. The price of examinations is €40 for M1 modules and €45 for M2 & M3 modules.
M1 Examinations are 1 hour in length, M2 / M3 modules 1,5 hours in length.
Language
All the modules of this training pathway are offered in English.
