PwC Luxembourg & The Luxembourg Institute of Governance (ILA) are thrilled to invite you to the 2025 NED Day, taking place on April 24th, 2025, at the PwC premises.

For several years, we have had the pleasure of welcoming Executive and Non-Executive Directors to explore a wide range of hot topics and market trends.

The day will kick-off with a plenary session featuring the latest edition of the Luxembourg Fund Governance Survey, followed by an engaging panel discussion with experts and Directors on the impact of tax and legal controversies on Directors. 

After the lunch break, you will have the opportunity to dive into various workshops covering industry topics (ESG, ELTIF, investment tax credit...), technical points (new accounting bill, separate report...) and director’s matters such as D&O and fraud awareness. 

Throughout the day, you will also have time to network and engage with our subject-matter experts and industry leaders during the breaks and at the end-of-day cocktail reception.

Topic 1: Am I Responsible for Sustainability Reporting? A Non-Exec Director’s Guide to SFDR.

As a Non-Executive Director, the question of responsibility for sustainability reporting is more relevant than ever. In this workshop, we’ll explore the SFDR and clarify your role in ensuring your organization meets its sustainability obligations. Gain a clear understanding of the key responsibilities, risks, and opportunities involved, and walk away with practical insights to strengthen your governance in sustainable finance.

Topic 2: Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance (D&O) as a risk management Solution

D&O is one of management liability solutions which helps protect public, private, and non-profit organisations, individuals from a wide range of board-level and professional exposures. We will discuss the how the insurance protection works focusing on its specificities including typical perils, limits and exclusions.. We will explore the key features of the insurance product and discuss typical misunderstandings regarding the risks covered and protection mechanism.

Topic 3: ELTIF 2.0: Challenges created by the new liquidity possibilities

The new Level 1 and Level 2 regulations concerning ELTIFs have driven an increase in the popularity of this product across the European Union - with Luxembourg proving overwhelmingly to be the preferred place for their set-up. But the new possibilities offered by these regulations are coupled with additional responsibilities for the directors of ELTIFs - especially vis-a-vis the retail base, the target market for ELTIFs - which will generate increased levels of scrutiny from regulators at a pan-European level. 
During this workshop, we will walk you through what directors of ELTIFs should be mindful of when navigating through these new regulations, the legal and operational constraints that directors will have to tackle when dealing with a (semi-)liquid ELTIF, and how to best manage directors' responsibilities more generally in order to capitalise on the opportunities afforded by these ELTIF regulations.
