The ECM Advantage
U.S. Strategy → Irish UCITS → European Distribution → Institutional Investors → Asset Growth
We help exceptional U.S. investment managers transform proven strategies into globally distributed investment funds, while leveraging Ireland's position as one of the world's leading UCITS fund domiciles.
Practice
Onshore distribution
Ireland has become one of the world's leading centres for investment funds. But launching a successful UCITS fund requires more than regulation—it requires the right structure, the right partners, and access to the right investors.
ECM helps U.S. and international fund managers navigate the Irish UCITS landscape with confidence. Through our network of specialist partners, we support fund formation, regulatory solutions, operational infrastructure, and European distribution strategies.
Most importantly, we help great investment strategies reach new sources of capital. Leveraging decades of industry experience and a track record of over $4 billion raised for fund managers, we connect clients with family offices, private banks, wealth managers, and institutional investors across Europe.
From launch to scale, ECM provides the expertise, relationships, and market access needed to transform an investment strategy into a globally distributed fund.
Your focus is performance. Our focus is helping your fund grow.
