Kalk Bay
KalkBay Sarl, Luxembourg, draws inspiration from Kalk Bay, a close-knit fishing community in False Bay, South Africa. Its stunning scenery, rich heritage, and good connections to coastal villages and Cape Town make Kalk Bay a celebrated destination for international visitors.
KalkBay Sarl’s Managing Director, South African-born Luxembourger Keith Burman, cherishes this vibrant coastline and its hiking, diving, and sailing options. He knows how Kalk Bay’s resilient harbour protects local fishermen, facilitating their livelihoods amid increasingly fierce Cape storms. Facing climate change, the community promotes sustainability and conservation, and KalkBay Sarl supports the Save Our Seas Shark Education Centre.
Luxembourg
Similarly, Luxembourg offers a strategic haven in the heart of Europe for companies and investment funds, attracting international investors and asset managers with its political stability and robust financial institutions. Its picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage enhance its appeal as a gateway to diverse economies.
Luxembourg is a safe harbour for enterprises navigating the global economy and promotes sustainable finance and investment strategies to answer climate challenges. A resident with extensive cross-border knowledge and regulatory experience, KalkBay Sarl’s Keith Burman is well-placed to guide fund boards and investment managers using this resilient hub.
