"The Liechtenstein fund center - the perfect location for your fund business"
PwC, 2012
Liechtenstein is an attractive fund location in the heart of Europe, nestled between Switzerland and Austria. The Principality offers stable political conditions, a liberalized government and a business-friendly environment. The financial sector plays an important role in Liechtenstein's economy, employing 20% of the workforce. The fund market in Liechtenstein manages assets of over CHF 36 billion. Thanks to membership of the EEA and the implementation of EU directives, funds enjoy non-discriminatory access to the European market. Liechtenstein offers highly capitalized banks and a well-trained workforce. Funds can be set up without bureaucracy and the location benefits from strict rules to protect investors. The tax and legal framework conditions are also advantageous. PwC supports the domiciliation of funds and offers comprehensive audit, tax and advisory services.
