Message from the CEO – Julien Frighetto
Dear decision-makers and HR leaders in Luxembourg’s Asset Management sector,
With over ten years of experience recruiting specialized talent in the fund industry, I wanted to create a reference resource that goes beyond talent acquisition, specifically addressing the HR needs of ManCos in Luxembourg.
This HR study provides a comprehensive salary analysis across most roles, enriched with valuable qualitative data to help you steer your HR strategy effectively. It is based on input from 766 industry professionals and represents over 1,450 hours of research. The result is an in-depth view of your workforce, backed by exclusive, segmented data.
To ensure reliability and practical insights, we implemented a rigorous methodology overseen by an independent committee of five respected experts from Luxembourg’s fund sector. With their guidance and our advanced analytical tools, we’ve developed a unique study focused on accuracy, transparency, and objectivity.
"Our goal is to make this study the go-to resource for Luxembourg’s asset management HR landscape."
