Duff & Phelps, provider of governance, risk and transparency solutions, has been authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland as an alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) and UCITS Management Company (Super ManCo) in Ireland.
The Super ManCo will provide management company solutions, servicing all investment strategies for both established and startup asset managers.
It will be managed by an experienced Irish team linked into a global network of service managers, asset managers and an extensive investor client base.
With the full scope of AIFMD and UCITS permissions, the Irish Super ManCo will join Luxembourg as the second hub in Duff & Phelps’ European operations to offer independent fund management and hosting services.
Monique Melis, service line leader and global head of compliance and regulatory consulting at Duff & Phelps in London, said: “The launch of our Super ManCo in Ireland is a natural progression for Duff & Phelps, allowing us to provide a range of additional functions and services to our clients, and is a timely addition given the current focus on governance and substance in Ireland.”
