An investment fund in Ireland is typically established as an
umbrella fund – a fund which is divided
into sub-funds with segregated liability. Each sub-fund will pursue
its own unique investment strategy, have its own distinct liquidity

providers and offering documents. This will lower the costs
involved in establishing and operating the sub-funds.

Ireland is considered as a leading jurisdiction for investment
funds and the wider international financial services sector. Ireland is the domicile for 5.9% of worldwide investment fund

2nd largest in Europe.

largely attributed to its efficient and robust regulatory
environment which promotes market development and foreign
investment while protecting the interests of investors.
