Ireland is one of the pre-eminent financial services jurisdictions and fund domiciles in the world. Since the establishment of the IFSC in 1987, it has become one of the largest EU fund domiciles and the largest European location for activities to support the global structured finance, debt securities and the specialist securities industries.
Internationally renowned for its infrastructure, Ireland has a vast network of specialist service providers along with a tried and trusted legal and regulatory framework, all based in a common law jurisdiction. With access to the EU marketplace and double taxation treaties with over 70 countries world-wide Ireland has become a global centre for innovation and service excellence, made all the more appealing for the international private funds market following recent legislative changes.
