Equity Trustees brings global expertise to Aussie fund managers’ doorstep
The total funds invested in Australia of around A$3.5 trillion (A$2.7 trillion in retirement funds and approximately A$1.5bn in fund structures) pales in comparison to some global investment markets.
Two of the countries that lead the world as centres for collective investment vehicles are Luxembourg and Ireland. Luxembourg alone has around €6 trillion in collective investment vehicles, while Ireland has €2.5 trillion.
Europe has among the most sophisticated investment structures and regulations in the world and there is much Australia can learn from the models used overseas to provide investor protection and build vibrant, secure investment structures.
Equity Trustees has recently taken steps to expand offshore into the UK and Europe (via Ireland) to serve growing demand by fund managers to operate globally.
Just days after the Brexit deadline, our representatives from our UK/Europe and US offices are arriving in Australia to share updates around global topics in relation to these highly attractive – but sometimes complex - markets.
- Brexit – What happens now? And what does it mean for funds management in the UK and the European Union?
- How Australian fund managers can expand into Asia via UCITS structures
- Why expand investment products into Cayman Islands, London, Dublin or Luxembourg
