Who is organising this training course?

Fondation créée en 2015 par la Chambre de Commerce et l’Association des Banques et Banquiers Luxembourg (ABBL), la House of Training est un organisme agréé de formation professionnelle continue qui s'engage à contribuer activement à la compétitivité et à l'attractivité du Luxembourg en développant les compétences de ceux qui font vivre son économie.

What are the aims or the skills being targeted?

Luxembourg is strongly positioned to benefit from a combination of favourable factors affecting this important market sector:

Fund managers and investors have sought regulated as opposed to unregulated offshore vehicles, and have taken advantage of the opportunities offered by UCITS funds in this context.
Changes to the Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM) Directive are helping to establish Luxembourg as a major alternative funds centre.
The appetite for absolute return solutions is growing again.
For all these reasons, House of Training and ALFI have decided to offer unique training opportunities in Luxembourg aimed at those directly involved in the day-to-day business.

The Hedge Funds modules are 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 understanding of the specifics of hedge funds, accounting and custody.

What does the training course cover?

The training programme consists of three training modules in English.
The first module provides a theoretical foundation and a common language for understanding hedge funds. The other two modules then provide a valuable market-accepted view on specific applied, operational, accounting and IFRS aspects applicable to both hedge funds and funds of hedge funds.
Importantly, all courses provide a practical explanation for those involved in hedge fund administration and focus on the issues most relevant to Luxembourg in this context.
