We provide our clients with a vertically integrated approach, from outsourced fund administration to management of local companies, to which the depository function is now added”.
Fabrice Buchheit, head of depository services, said: “I am proud to announce that Alter Domus is the pioneer in providing professional depository services in Luxembourg. This approval demonstrates the quality and ability of Alter Domus in being able to provide this service, meeting the high level of professionalism expected by the Luxembourg Financial Regulator and the new requirements set by [AIFMD].”
