The clock is ticking to 31 December 2020 (the
"Brexit Deadline"), the date on which
the transition period set down in the EU/UK Withdrawal Agreement
will expire and the UK will become a "third country".
At that point, access to the UK market for Irish funds will
change considerably and cease in practical terms for a period for
new funds authorised after the Brexit Deadline and
existing funds which have not entered the
Temporary Permissions Regime ("TPR") by
30 December 2020 (the "TPR
Deadline").
Temporary Permissions Regime
The TPR allows continued access to the UK market for a period of
up to 3 years after the Brexit Deadline. The TPR
is available to UCITS and AIFs which are already approved to market
in the UK and which make application for the regime prior
to the TPR Deadline.
