Friday July 19 2013

The Minister for Finance, Mr. Michael Noonan, T.D., on 16 July 2013, signed into law the European Union (Alternative Investment Fund Managers) Regulations 2013 (No. 257 of 2013).

The Regulations give effect to the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive in Irish law and are supplemented by the Central Bank of Ireland’s AIF Rulebook which was published in May. The Directive establishes new rules governing the managers of alternative investment funds, including hedge funds, to ensure improved corporate governance and greater transparency in the management of alternative investment funds.
