15 Evolution of cross-border distribution Trends in cross-border fund distribution Growth in global registrations: 4.4% over the year 2011 (vs 7.2% growth in 2010) Strong growth in cross-border funds: 7.6% over the year 2011 (vs 6.2% growth in 2010) Luxembourg funds account for 75% of cross-border registrations, illustrating their strength as a crossborder market Luxembourg domiciled funds have a very strong presence in Asia, accounting for the majority of fund domiciliation in Hong Kong (59%), Singapore (52%), Taiwan (42%). However South Korea remains almost entirely closed, with 97% of funds domestically domiciled and the remaining 3% from Luxembourg. Both Argentina and Brazil are closed markets, with 100% of assets domestically domiciled. Chile is far more open, with Luxembourg domiciled funds representing 47% of funds, and a further 24% from other foreign domiciles. Peru is the most open of all, as just 7% of funds are domiciled domestically, 46% are domiciled in Luxembourg. Mexico is substantially closed as 98% of funds are domestic and the remaining 2% from other foreign domiciles. Within Europe Luxembourg has a very strong presence in Germany (54%), Italy (61%), The Netherlands (61%) and Spain (47%). France bucks this trend as 57% of funds are domestically domiciled, however Luxembourg still accounts for 30% of the remaining funds.
