The Market

Following the upward trajectory of the Securitisation Market

Securitisation has evolved significantly since the 2008 financial crisis. What began as a mechanism to repackage cash-generating assets into bond-like instruments has been rebuilt on stronger foundations: heightened supervision, comprehensive regulatory frameworks and far greater transparency.

The result is a market in steady expansion, European issuance reached EUR 252 billion in 2025, and the European Commission's 2025 legislative package on the Securitisation Regulation is set to further simplify private securitisation. Luxembourg sits at the forefront of this growth.

Key Benefits

What underpins Luxembourg's allure

Legal Certainty

Compartment segregation, bankruptcy remoteness and limited recourse are not contractual constructs, they are written into the Securitisation Law and enforced by Luxembourg courts.

Any Asset Class

The law places no limitation on the assets that may be securitised: equities, debt, real estate, funds, receivables, digital assets and pre-IPO positions can all be wrapped.

Limited Recourse & Non-Petition

Investors' claims are limited by law to the assets of their compartment, and creditors undertake not to petition for the vehicle's bankruptcy, both expressly recognised by the Securitisation Law and enforced by Luxembourg courts.

Tax Neutrality

Issuance-level tax neutrality, no withholding tax on payments to investors, and access to one of the world's largest double tax treaty networks.

Political & Economic Stability

One of Europe's most stable political and economic environments, an AAA-rated sovereign and a predictable legal system for long-term transactions.

Strategic Location

At the heart of Europe, with unparalleled access to EU and global markets for cross-border issuance and distribution.

Professional Ecosystem

A complete ecosystem of legal counsel, auditors, paying agents, listing venues and calculation agents experienced in securitisation, transactions close faster because everyone has done this before.

Luxembourg combines a forward-thinking regulatory regime, a conducive tax environment and unmatched professional depth. It is where European securitisation is done, and where Capital-Hill issues.
