Our Bulletin is produced to provide topical briefings on legal and regulatory issues of relevance to the Asset Management and Investment Funds industry with a presence in Ireland.  The focus of this Bulletin is on very recent regulatory developments, including the significant relaxation in investor criteria and minimum subscription requirements for Qualifying Investor Funds (QIFs) announced on 20 October 2010.  William Fry has had a close involvement in the industry discussions with the Central Bank which culminated in this development.
