The impact of the credit crisis on hedge fund liquidity and the need to build more transparent and accountable investment structures is sparking further interest in the use of UCITS fund products by asset managers and promoters.
Ireland, having been pro-active in implementing the UCITS regime into domestic legislation in 1989, has become one of the leading EU domiciles for UCITS funds.
