Ireland
Dublin is a more recent arrival on the offshore scene than the Isle of Man or Channel Islands, but has rapidly developed a reputation for a specialist financial services support infrastructure.
A Dublin location may provide more flexibility than some other international jurisdictions; for example certain UK pension schemes can only invest in providers based in the European Union. Ireland’s regulatory regime also allows a wide choice of permissible funds for investment. Ireland operates a minimum solvency margin regime, which means that life companies must have sufficient assets to meet their liabilities. The minimum solvency requirements in Ireland are among the highest of the offshore jurisdictions.
