Apex Fund Services, Mason Hayes+Curran and the Irish Stock Exchange will be hosting interactive seminars in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain on the opportunities of Ucits funds for Middle East and North Africa fund managers.

During the presentations details will be provided about the flexibility of Ucits strategies, the global distribution potential of Ucits, the process of establishing Ucits funds in Ireland, as well as the advantages of listing Ucits on the Irish Stock Exchange.

The Seminars will take place in Abu Dhabi on 25 April, Dubai 26 April and Bahrain 27 April.

Peter Hughes, managing director of Apex Fund Services, says: “Liquidity remains one of the main obstacles for the international capital markets. There continues to be a steady rise in demand for the UCITS product which allows investment managers to passport their investment funds across Europe and access this wider pool of capital. Working with our partners this is another example of how Apex provides its clients in the Middle East with value added services that are above and beyond those provided by other traditional fund administration companies.”
