Ambition 2025

In June 2020, ALFI defined its 5-year ambitions.

Our ambition is to empower investors in their financial journey to allow them to meet their life goals. We aim to achieve this by driving innovation and change in the asset management industry in alignment with the evolving needs of investors and our society. We will do this by accompanying investors along each of the stepping stones in their journey to financial success. To be future-ready, investors need pensions and savings products with built-in sustainability features, a recognised brand name, a reputable product and a wealth of online possibilities.

We have therefore defined our objectives as follows:

   To lead the development of innovative cross-border savings and pensions products
   To create a framework that helps sustainable products flourish
   To extend the global reach of UCITS as a multi-purpose solution
   To broaden access to alternative investments
   To drive innovation and the digital transformation of the Luxembourg funds industry
