Distribution Support and Passporting

The ability to Passport UCITS and AIF funds across the EU, and further afield, is one the key advantages of setting up a Fund in Ireland.

Trium Ireland manage the passporting of Funds into the relevant jurisdictions. Although there are costs associated for each country where a fund is to be sold - primarily local regulatory applications and filings, translations (if applicable), and then ongoing regulatory reporting and NAV publication - registration is a relatively painless and inexpensive process. Trium Ireland can advise on all aspects of the costs, processes, timings and what can and can’t be done in each jurisdiction, and fully coordinate the legal and regulatory process. Essentially this is a full service, leaving the fund manager free to market to distributors in the knowledge that, when traction is gained, the country registration process has been carried out.

We can, for fund managers speaking to distributors in multiple jurisdictions, arrange detailed project management of the multiple applications, going as far as arranging a web-site portal specifically for the fund manager that lists the status of applications in each active jurisdiction, and once live, offer a document download facility, guide to local regulations and timetables for filings.

Distribution Platforms

Distribution platforms are a very important feature of the European fund distribution environment, particularly for UCITS. Several leading platform are dominant and are key to accessing capital in certain jurisdictions. Trium Ireland has considerable experience dealing with various fund platforms across Europe. Having existing contracts in place which can often be extended to new funds, and having developed data files with such platforms, adding new funds should be a seamless process.
