EY Luxembourg selected as winner of the Wealth & Finance’s alternative investment awards 2015

LUXEMBOURG, 12 June 2015. We are delighted to announce that EY Luxembourg has been recognized as the “Alternative Investment Audit & Advisory Firm of the Year, Luxembourg” by Wealth & Finance Magazine in its annual Alternative Investment Awards.

Today, more than ever before, investors are seeking newer and more innovative ways to maximize returns. As a result, professionals across a wide spectrum of global industries and sectors are finding new paths and avenues to further refine and develop their services and meet their clients’ ever-changing demands.

The 2015 Alternative Investment Awards honor the dedicated individuals and businesses making a mark in this fascinating and constantly evolving sphere, and put the spotlight on the leading lights in the sector, as well as smaller niche companies making headway away from the limelight.

Prestigious awards such as these are given purely on merit and only recognize those most deserving for their services and expertise provided over the last 12 months. As a result, award winners can be safe in the knowledge that their awards are a testament to their exceptional performance in these volatile, fascinating and innovative industries.

Kai Braun, Alternatives Advisory Leader at EY Luxembourg comments: “We are proud to have won this award for the second consecutive year. This recognition testifies to our continued efforts to help the alternative investment industry in becoming compliant with the Alternative Investment Funds Manager Directive (AIFMD). Over the past years, the firm has developed target operating models for the top five depositary banks on a pan-European level, serviced out of Luxembourg, and helped over 20 managers in getting AIFMD-authorized with their local regulators.”
