What Compliance Means in Ireland
The starting point in Ireland is the market itself: Ireland is Europe’s second-largest fund domicile and the leading ETF centre, with the Central Bank’s authorisation gatekeeping and CP86 substance expectations shaping every management company. Management companies need authorisation, substance, and governance that satisfies supervisors, while SFDR disclosure obligations are tested against actual portfolio practice. National law adds its own layer through CJA 2010.
The cost of misreading this market is concrete. Supervisory expectations around substance have hardened: regulators want genuine decision-making and demonstrable delegate oversight, not letterbox entities. Delegation findings unwind commercial arrangements painfully. We build frameworks for Ireland from local supervisory reality rather than generic EU templates, because its fund-domicile scale and the Central Bank’s gatekeeping reputation shapes what the Central Bank of Ireland examines first.

Asset Manager Questions Answered
Do you support both AIFMs and UCITS ManCos?
Yes. We support alternative and UCITS management companies, including dual-authorised super ManCos, across authorisation, compliance, and ongoing supervisory obligations at every stage.
Can you help with cross-border fund distribution?
Absolutely. We manage marketing notifications and passporting across your target markets, and advise on the local distribution rules and investor classification requirements applying in each one.
What substance do regulators expect from ManCos?
Genuine local decision-making, sufficient resident staff and directors, real oversight of delegates, and governance demonstrating the management company actually manages, not just holds licences.
How does SFDR affect asset managers?
SFDR requires entity and product level sustainability disclosures, with regulators increasingly testing whether marketing claims and classifications match actual portfolio holdings and processes.
Can you review our delegation arrangements?
Yes. We assess delegation agreements, oversight processes, and monitoring evidence against current expectations, then strengthen whatever falls short before supervisors examine it.
