How to invest in Europe from Latin America and the Middle East
More and more investors from Latin America and the Middle East are looking for a solid European centre in which to hold and grow their wealth. Europe offers stability, legal certainty and access to global markets, and Luxembourg has become its main gateway.
Why look to Europe
Diversifying wealth geographically reduces dependence on a single country or currency. Europe provides a stable institutional framework, a strong currency (the euro) and access to one of the most developed investment industries in the world.
For an investor from Latin America or the Middle East, placing part of their wealth in Europe is a way to protect capital from local volatility and to access international investment vehicles.
Luxembourg, the gateway
Within Europe, Luxembourg stands out as the point of access for several reasons:
- A member of the European Union and the euro area, rated AAA.
- The second-largest centre in the world by assets held in investment funds.
- Legal certainty, confidentiality and rigorous supervision.
- Multi-currency operations and diversified custody.

At Quality Finance Wealth Management we help international investors structure their entry into Europe through Bankinter Luxembourg, S.A., the first Spanish bank with a full banking licence in Luxembourg.

Frequently asked questions
Can I invest in Europe if I am not an EU resident?
Yes. European private banking serves international investors. Luxembourg, inside the euro area and rated AAA, is one of the preferred centres for holding wealth from outside the European Union.
Why choose Luxembourg over another European country?
Luxembourg combines EU and euro-area membership, the highest credit rating, legal certainty and the largest fund industry in Europe. It is a stable, internationally recognised point of entry.
In which currency can I hold my wealth?
Private banking in Luxembourg lets you operate in several currencies, typically euros, dollars and pounds, which makes it easier to diversify liquidity.
