The latest episode of The Aquest Podcast is now live, and we are diving deep into one of the most discussed topics in the funds industry: Delegation.
In this season finale, my regular co-host Dáire Lawlor joins me to unpack the complexities of delegation and outsourcing. We explore the frequently asked questions that continue to surface for fund management companies, providing clarity on the nuances that define our regulatory landscape.
In this episode, we tackle the critical distinctions between Delegation vs. Outsourcing and their impact on operational frameworks. We also trace The Evolution of DPs (Designated Persons), from their mid-naughties origins to their continued relevance alongside C-suite roles today. Furthermore, we provide a Regulatory Outlook, discussing key developments like CP86, AIFMD2, and the Central Bank’s recent papers on efficiency and simplification, before looking ahead at Future Trends such as the role of tokenisation, the "Mind the Gap" paper, and what the first quarter of 2026 holds for the Irish funds industry.
Thank you to all our listeners for your support throughout this season. We wish you a productive start to the New Year and look forward to bringing you more Funds Industry Conversations in the next season.
