Ireland, over the last quarter of a century has become a major
hub for cross-border distribution. It is one of the leading EU
"exporting" jurisdictions for investment funds, for both
UCITS and non-UCITS. International fund promoters from over 50
countries use Ireland as their domicile of choice for fund products
and seek to access not only the European market place but also
markets outside the EU including the main Asia-Pacific markets.
Ireland is the number one hedge fund centre in the world and
Irish funds are distributed in over 70 countries worldwide.
Wherever your fund is domiciled, it can be serviced out of Ireland
– 30 languages and 28 currencies are fully supported. In
particular Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea have become
popular jurisdictions into which asset managers choose to market
and sell their funds with particular acceptance of UCITS (the
European "gold standard" product) in those markets. The
Irish Stock Exchange is the leading stock exchange
