"We value this publication highly as it represents a most useful and comprehensive study of UCI's in Luxembourg, which can be seen as point of reference by market players and lawyers alike" - Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier

"Maîtres Claude Kremer and Isabelle Lebbe have written an interesting and useful treatise on the law and practice surrounding UCIs. I particularly admire the thoroughness and completeness of their work. Academics as well as practitioners in the field are likely to turn to this book frequently and fruitfully" - Professor Christian C.P Wolff, Director, Luxembourg School of Finance
