A société en commandite par actions (“SCPA”) is a [[partnership}} limited by shares under the laws of the Grand Duchy of {{tag|Luxembourg]]. It is seems as being something of a hybrid between a société anonyme and a limited partnership.
Unlike a limited partnership, interests in the undertaking are represented by shares, devoid of "personal character". These interests are in principle transferable.
A société en commandite par actions has two different types of participants:
- (i) one (or more) associé commandité gérants (the "general partners") who , by operation of law, are jointly and severally liable for any obligations of the partnership and are responsible for its management.
- (ii) the limited shareholders (associés commanditaires) whose liability is limited to the amount of their investment. There may be an unlimited number of limited shareholders.
