A SICAV (Société d’Investissement à Capital Variable) is a limited company whose purpose is to offer its shareholders the ability to benefit from the professional management of portfolios of transferable securities or other financial assets as defined in the investment policy of each of its compartments.

It issues or repurchases its shares on demand from investors at buy or sell prices which it is required to publish daily and which correspond to the value of invested assets.

Thanks to its legal form, a SICAV gives its shareholders control over its management through a Board of Directors and a General Meeting of shareholders.

The Luxembourg financial market is the heart of the euro zone for the registration and administration of investment funds: it derives its reputation from its strong culture of investor protection, in turn based on its considerable political, regulatory and social stability.

Holders of shares in a SICAV thus benefit from the best international standards for the activities of custodian banks, achieved thanks to the specialisation in this area of the local financial services industry.

As a function of their history, fund classes – with the exception of Clartan Patrimoine – may be eligible for tax reductions relating to the length of the investment period.
