Jervis Smith, country managing director for Luxembourg, adds: “We are seeing a dramatic increase in the alternative space in Luxembourg as fund managers are recognising that managing funds is becoming more complex, hence, needing a service provider who can seamlessly help them establish, grow and manage their funds. This is where Vistra comes in, and why we are thrilled to have Philippe join our team.”
