Luxembourg at a Crossroads: Competing for the Future of Finance

We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming joint event hosted by the CFA Society of Luxembourg, EFPA, and CAIA Luxembourg, focusing on Luxembourg’s competitiveness as a global hub for funds, financial services, and asset management. Two years ago, we convened a similar discussion centered on the role of innovation in maintaining Luxembourg’s leadership in an increasingly competitive global landscape. Today, the industry stands at a critical juncture. Competition from neighboring financial centers is intensifying, while geopolitical turbulence continues to impact business stability and continuity. At the same time, a global technology race is underway, with the US, Asia, and Europe all vying for strategic positioning. In this environment, innovation is no longer optional. It is essential. This session will revisit our earlier discussion, taking stock of how Luxembourg has progressed over the past two years. Together, we will explore where we stand today, assess whether we are on the right trajectory, and challenge ourselves to consider whether we have what it takes to succeed and carve out a strong, differentiated position within the European Union for long-term success. We are especially pleased to welcome back Nasir Zubairi , CEO of LHoFT, who will return as keynote speaker to reflect on the changes and developments since our last discussion. This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring leading voices from across the industry. Panelists:   ·      Emilie Allaert (Standard Chartered) ·      Frank Roessig (Proximus) ·      Alex Panican (Luxembourg House of Financial Technology) ·      Pierpaolo Squillante (Intesa Sanpaolo)  Moderator: ·      Veronica Martinez Sotillo (Azimut Investments)  Master of Ceremonies: ·      Prash Chandrasekhar , CFA

The world in 2026 and beyond

The global landscape in 2026 continues to shift at pace. Geopolitical tensions, evolving trade dynamics, and the policy direction of the United States are reshaping capital flows, regulation, and the broader financial services ecosystem. Returning by popular demand,  Dariush Yazdani, PwC Partner, will be back to share his latest perspectives on the forces driving change in today’s environment, and what they could mean for financial institutions, investors, and Luxembourg’s role within the global system in the years ahead. As always, his session will combine sharp macro insight with practical implications, making this a must-attend event for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve. The presentation will be followed by a networking cocktail.

Management Skills Workshop: Executive Presence

Executive presence may be a bit of a mysterious competence, but it is definitely not a physical trait like height or the color of your eyes. It is a fascinating set of attitudes, concepts, and behaviors. It can be studied, practiced, learned and taught - and it’s worth making a deliberate effort to get to the next level. If you are playing a role in your organization, playing it well is worth some extra effort.

Charter Award Ceremony

Our Charter Award Ceremony 2026 will take place on June 3d. We will enjoy a special evening including a keynote speech and the presentation of Charters before a Networking Cocktail with new charterholders as well as the Board and Directors of CFA Society Luxembourg.
