Luxembourg-regulated entities face a complex matrix of EU regulatory obligations — AIFMD reporting, MiFID II best execution, EMIR clearing, GDPR, MiCA, and CSSF supervisory requirements. Marensa Advisory provides ongoing compliance support.
A Luxembourg CSSF-regulated entity is subject to the full scope of EU financial regulation — AIFMD, UCITS, MiFID II, PSD2, EMIR, SFDR, GDPR, MiCA, and DORA — as implemented in Luxembourg law. Managing ongoing compliance across this regulatory matrix requires systematic processes, qualified compliance staff, and active CSSF supervisory relationship management.
Marensa Advisory provides ongoing EU regulatory compliance support for Luxembourg entities — as a retained compliance advisory function or to supplement internal compliance teams during periods of regulatory change.
Discuss Luxembourg Compliance SupportLuxembourg entities must actively manage a multi-layered EU regulatory compliance programme — with CSSF supervisory reporting as the primary accountability mechanism.
EU financial regulation is complex, overlapping, and constantly evolving. A Luxembourg regulated entity without a systematic compliance programme faces material supervisory risk — including CSSF enforcement, investor liability, and loss of EU passport.
Marensa Advisory provides Luxembourg compliance support as a retained advisory function — giving regulated entities access to senior regulatory expertise without the cost of maintaining a full internal team for every EU obligation.
Start the ConversationSFDR applies to all EU-authorised fund managers and investment advisers. All Luxembourg AIFMs and ManCos must classify each fund under SFDR Article 6, 8, or 9 — and maintain entity-level SFDR disclosures. Fund documentation, websites, and periodic reports must include mandated SFDR disclosures.
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) entered application on 17 January 2025 — applying to Luxembourg banks, investment firms, fund managers, payment institutions, crypto-asset service providers, and their critical ICT service providers. ICT risk management frameworks and incident reporting processes must be in place.
The frequency depends on AUM: AIFMs above EUR 1 billion must file quarterly; AIFMs below EUR 1 billion file semi-annually or annually. Reporting covers each managed AIF, with full position, leverage, and risk data in ESMA-standard templates.
Marensa Advisory provides compliance advisory support and outsourced compliance function services for Luxembourg entities — including CSSF compliance officer support. Note that CSSF requires the compliance officer to be identified to CSSF and to be genuinely responsible for the entity's compliance programme.
