Brickfield Working Guide to Fund Finance
Ireland is a leading jurisdiction for the global investment funds industry. At the end of 2023, over €4tn of net assets were held in almost 8,900 Irish domiciled funds (including sub-funds), representing a 12% annual asset growth.
The Ireland chapter of the Working Guide to Fund Finance Guide was authored by Kevin Lynch (Partner, Debt Finance), Ian Dillon (Asset Management and Investment Funds) and Ben Rayner (Senior Associate, Debt Finance).
Ireland offers a range of fund vehicles for promoters to establish fund and feeder fund structures with an Irish domicile. Irish vehicles therefore feature regularly in subscription, net asset value (NAV), hybrid, umbrella and other fund financings. Before commencing due diligence on an Irish fund or considering the facility and security documents, it is crucial first to understand the type of Irish vehicle that is involved in the financing and, furthermore, whether the vehicle is a regulated or unregulated fund.
