Elyssa Westby to Speak on U.S. Credit Fund Managers and Luxembourg Fund Formation at ALFI Conference

On Tuesday, May 12, asset management associate Elyssa Westby will participate in a panel discussion at the Association of Luxembourg Fund Formation (ALFI) conference in Chicago. The session, titled “U.S. Credit Fund Managers – Considerations When Setting Up a Luxembourg Fund,” will run from 4:40 p.m. to 5:25 p.m. and explore why U.S. credit fund managers continue to turn to Luxembourg as a gateway for global capital.

Through a practical case study, panelists will examine the key drivers behind establishing a Luxembourg fund—including strong demand among European and international investors, the flexibility of partnership-based structures, and tailored marketing strategies. The discussion will also address real-world challenges encountered during setup and operation, and look ahead to evolving considerations such as AIFMD II, loan origination frameworks, and the rise of open-ended structures.
