The Maples Group is a leading service provider offering clients a comprehensive range of legal services on the laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Ireland, Jersey and Luxembourg, and is an independent provider of fiduciary, fund services, regulatory and compliance, and entity formation and management services.
Since the Irish funds industry started, a high proportion of funds have been established as UCITS (which is why asset levels in Irish UCITS are significantly higher than in Qualifying Investor Alternative Investment Funds ("QIAIFs")). However, there has been a surge in the launches of alternative products in the last five or six years with the QIAIF being the most popular product for new launches.

Introduction

We are often asked what we are seeing in the Irish funds market. To assist our clients to make informed decisions on Irish projects, we have conducted a statistical analysis on every fund that we have helped launch since 2012. We have analysed key terms from each of the funds to identify the trends set out in this analysis. All information is collected on a strictly confidential basis and does not disclose client names or commercially sensitive data.

Our informed view of the market

We are independently ranked as the number one legal adviser in Ireland for funds, based on number of funds advised and number of new funds established, as per the Monterey Insight Ireland Fund Report 2017.
