Fund centre
The strength of Liechtenstein’s fund industry lies in the structuring and administration of private-label funds. Asset managers use Liechtenstein as a gateway to the European market. There is a growing trend for family offices and foundations to place their assets in specially established funds. Therefore, as Liechtenstein not only specialises in fund structuring but also offers a high level of legal security and stability, the importance of the fund centre in this secor is increasing as well.
