The LSFI is pleased to release the outcome of the analysis conducted by its Innovation and Retail Products for Sustainable Finance Working Group.
The working group, composed of 12 experts from financial institutions, fintechs and law firms, focused on the retail investment landscape in Luxembourg, highlighting the critical yet underutilised role of retail investors in advancing sustainable finance.
In particular, the working group conducted a comprehensive mapping and assessment of the sustainable investment landscape for retail investors in Luxembourg, focusing on the current product offering across the banking, asset management, and insurance sectors, identifying gaps and barriers.
The members also examined practices in other relevant European markets, with particular attention to policy mechanisms and incentives—such as tax benefits—designed to encourage retail participation in sustainable finance products.
Finally, the working group has explored pragmatic approaches to ultimately unlock the full potential of retail customer participation by formulating key recommendations to enhance existing offerings and integrate innovative features.
