Ireland: Financial Sector Assessment Program : Technical Note-Asset Management and Financial Stability

This Technical Note takes stock of the risks to domestic and international financial stability associated with the asset management industry in Ireland. The study is motivated by a number of considerations: the Irish-domiciled asset management industry has grown rapidly since the last FSAP (in 2006), which recommended a review of industry activities; recently compiled security-level data allow for a richer analysis than was previously possible; and the analysis is in keeping with the broader global trend of increased supervision of asset management activities and entities.
