LUXEMBOURG INVESTMENT SUMMIT

Luxembourg, which borders Belgium, Germany, and France is one of the four official capitals of the European Union. Its central location and political, economic and legislative stability has made Luxembourg a leading financial hub and attractive location for all investors - after the US, it has the 2nd largest fund industry in the world, and is one of only ten countries with a AAA rating.
