Asset Management - Ireland's funds industry

  Ireland is renowned globally as being one of the premier locations for establishing and administrating investment funds. Many factors including simple tax structures, a facilitating regulator and fund flexibility have helped Ireland to establish itself as the centre of choice for many Europe-facing fund management companies.

According to the Irish Funds Industry Association there are in excess of 10,000 funds with a net asset value of over Euro1.4 trillion in Ireland.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Dublin has developed as one of the leading providers of Advisory, Audit and Tax services to this growing funds industry, auditing over 64% percent of the fund assets domiciled in Ireland.
PricewaterhouseCoopers has a global network of specialists who can help asset management companies to turn challenges into opportunities in key areas including governance, risk management, financial reporting and business development strategies.
