Joost Mees on Luxembourg’s Resilience in a Time of Uncertainty

Joost Mees, Managing Director – Luxembourg, took part in a Q&A with Real Deals in their 2020 Luxembourg special edition.

In the Q&A, Joost reflects on Luxembourg’s resilience, how the pandemic could see long-term changes to the way private equity funds operate and sustainable investing in a post-lockdown world.

Questions asked by Reals Deals included:

• How have Luxembourg fund service providers reacted to Covid-19 disruption? Have they been able to maintain service levels and business continuity?
• How have new fund activity levels compared year-on-year to 2019? How has the drop in overall private equity deal and fundraising activity affected Luxembourg’s private equity community?
• Is there a particular investment trend that you see growing in Luxembourg, post Covid-19?
