Launching funds in Ireland

RBS Fund Services (Ireland) Limited (RBS FSI) is authorised by the Irish Financial Regulator as an independent management company for UCITS and Non-UCITS funds held in Ireland.

Established in Dublin in 2006, we provide the capital, local substance and oversight required to create and operate investment funds in Ireland. This allows you to focus on managing and distributing your fund product.

Working for you

Use us as your Irish management company, rather than incur the administrative and financial burden of establishing your own local operation in Ireland.

As party to the material contracts for a fund, we take responsibility for delegated functions – helping to mitigate liabilities and risks.

Fully independent, completely trusted

We are not tied to any fund service provider – such as custodians, administrators, asset managers or advisory firms.

Benefits

The benefits for our clients include our team’s extensive fund industry expertise, the cost effectiveness and scalability of our solution, and proven and audited processes.

International client base

Ireland is a globally-recognised centre for the worldwide distribution of funds, and our Irish based operation has a growing client base of fund promoters who distribute their funds internationally.

Backed by RBS

We are backed by one of the world’s leading financial services groups. RBS FSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the RBS group.
