Kneip is a Luxembourg-founded investment-data and fund-reporting company that sits in the plumbing between asset managers, fund domiciles, and the distribution channels (banks, platforms, regulators) where funds are actually sold. For decades it has been one of the largest providers of European fund data dissemination, handling NAVs, KIIDs/PRIIPs KIDs, MiFID II data templates, and regulatory reporting packages for hundreds of asset managers — unglamorous but absolutely load-bearing infrastructure for the EUR 5-trillion-plus Luxembourg fund industry.
