Specialising in structuring, due diligence, compliance, tax and regulation for alternative investments, Laven opened an office in New York last October and entered Asia via a partnership with consultancy GFIA in Singapore. Lussan has also written a guidebook to Ucits funds and is running as an independent candidate to become the French Assembly’s MP for Northern Europe.”2011: “After training as a solicitor, Lussan became chief operating officer of hedge fund Rhicon Currency Management. He left in 2005 and founded Laven, a specialist consultancy that deals with compliance and regulatory matters for alternative investments. Demand for Laven’s services has grown rapidly over the past two years. A self-confessed workaholic, Lussan finds it hard to sit still. In his spare time he is writing a book on fund structuring.” |
