Investment Funds Spring Newsletter

Our newsletter addresses key developments over recent months impacting the funds industry, including the publication of the European Commission’s Savings and Investments Union Strategy, the Central Bank of Ireland’s (“Central Bank”) Regulatory and Supervisory Outlook Report, the implementation of the revised Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”) and the Central Bank’s clarification of its rules on AIFs acting as guarantors.
Our briefing notes linked below provide further detail on these developments. We also welcome the recent amendments to the Central Bank’s portfolio transparency requirements for exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), allowing for semi-transparent ETFs and thereby facilitating the establishment of active ETFs.
For a full list of the key legal and regulatory developments impacting the funds industry, together with commentary on the key themes impacting the sector, see the Spring 2025 edition of our Horizon Tracker.
Your usual Matheson contact or any of the contacts listed in this newsletter would be delighted to discuss any of these developments in further detail with you.
Full details of the Asset Management and Investment Funds Department, together with further updates, articles and briefing notes written by members of the Asset Management and Investment Funds team, can be accessed at www.matheson.com.
