The Luxembourg regulator (CSSF) has on 22 December 2008 issued a press release analysing the impact of the Madoff fraud case on the Luxembourg investment funds.

The CSSF noted that the impact on Luxembourg investment funds which are directly or indirectly exposed to the Madoff case amounts to 1.9 billion Euro which represents only 0.15% of the total net assets of undertakings of collective investment as at 30 November 2008. The CSSF furthermore noted that it does not imply that this amount is entirely lost but that it represents the maximum responsibility at stake.
