Responding to growing market demand for European domiciled investment fund products, and the emergence of Dublin as a centre for alternative investment products, DMS Management Ltd (DMS) has opened a new office in Dublin, Ireland.
Led by Irish resident principals Derek Delaney and Don Ebanks, and leveraging DMS’ global fund governance platform, DMS Ireland is ideally positioned to help fund sponsors grow their asset management businesses by establishing UCITS, QIFs, SPVs and other European products to attract European and other international investor clientele.
As residents of Ireland, Delaney and Ebanks are able to serve as directors to a wide range of European vehicles and deliver the level of institutional quality fund governance for which DMS is internationally renowned.
