Asset Management and Investment Funds
Investment Funds Newsletter
May 2026
Our newsletter addresses key developments over recent months impacting the funds industry, including notable publications from the Central Bank of Ireland (“Central Bank”) such as the Regulatory and Supervisory Outlook Report, the discussion paper on distributed ledger technology and tokenisation in financial services and the report on board effectiveness through the lens of diversity and inclusion. We also consider the European Commission’s proposals to revise the registration and authorisation thresholds set out in the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”) as part of its consultation on EU venture capital and growth funds, as well as upcoming changes to disclosure obligations for certain fund managers under the ESG Ratings Regulation.
Our briefing notes linked below provide further detail on these developments.
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.
