Office Profile

Along with Luxembourg, Dublin is one of the most established financial services sectors in the world and also serves as the founding office of Custom House.  The funds industry in Dublin is a mixture of firms offering services to the local Irish funds market - estimated in 2011 to be close to €990bn - to a service centre servicing global hedge funds, with an established and highly experienced workforce.  Indeed, it is estimated that the total value of funds administered in Ireland is close to €1.8 trillion, reflected in over 11,000 funds.  The reputation of Dublin is that of a location with a highly educated and experienced workforce, supplemented by a strong technical infrastructure and a mature and established funds industry. 

Established by Dermot Butler in 1989, Custom House Ireland built its reputation as the ‘Specialist Fund Specialist’ and participated as the lead office in the evolution of the Custom House Group as we expanded our operations overseas.  Today the Parent Company of the Group is Custom House Global Fund Services Limited based in Malta, the primary role of the office is to act as a centre of specialisation for the Group and leverage off the experience of its staff and management in supporting the activities of the firm, while at the same time having the capability of offering all of the Group’s services.  It is also the location of the Group’s ‘hot site’ and any service in any regional office can be supported in a disaster recovery situation from Ireland. 
 
As with all offices, Dublin contributes to the 24-hour functional model and can act as an operational roll over facility from Asia to the Americas for any issues, as the day progresses.  The technology function, fund formation and various support services are all led from Dublin by a management team with an average service of over 10 years.  Ireland also acts as the perfect location to support UK clients, along with providing an important link between our Asian and American time zones for all client and investor queries.  To a great extent the management of the Group continues to be effected out of Ireland as well as malta, but the cumulative years of experience in the Irish office represents a great asset to the Group.
