The Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI) has re-elected Corinne Lamesch as its chairperson at its annual general meeting.
Lamesch will serve for a further two years, with the appointment taking effect immediately.
During this period, the association will focus on delivering the objectives specified in its 2020 document, ALFI Ambition 2025.
The impact of climate change and sustainability issues will be at the forefront. “It is certainly one of the positive effects of the pandemic that the necessity to look beyond financial return is recognised by more and more people and organisations,” says Lamesch.
A second priority will be on the development of user-friendly technology for funds. “Private assets retain their appeal for investors of all kinds in pursuit of returns and the importance of long-term savings to mitigate the pensions’ gap continues to grow,” adds Lamesch.
Additionally, ALFI will focus on efforts to encourage diversity and inclusion in line with the launch of the ALFI Diversity and Inclusion Forum in late 2020.
“Looking back on my first mandate, it wasn’t quite what I had expected - we had several unpredictable challenges to overcome together as an industry,” says Lamesch. “However, despite these challenges the Luxembourg investment fund industry rallied together and remains robust, proving to be a strong pillar of the Luxembourg economy.”
ALFI is the trade association for Luxembourg’s asset management industry, positioning itself as the face and voice of Luxembourg’s funds business and championing mainstream, private assets and sustainable investments.
The association also elected a new board of directors at its AGM.
