Irish regulation

The funds industry in Ireland goes from strength to strength as the domicile of choice for regulated fund products. Over 900 fund promoters and 12,000 funds call Ireland home. From here, they are selling their funds in over 70 countries. Whether you are a UCITS fund manager, an AIFM, or a funds service provider, with such activity comes a range of regulatory and compliance requirements. As an EU country and a globally recognised centre for UCITS funds, and with a range of prudently regulated fund products, Ireland offers compelling advantage as a place to start business.
