EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations provide for the prescription of the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands for the purposes of s. 145(2) of the Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Act 2015 .

Designation as a relevant jurisdiction permits a corporate entity which is a collective investment scheme in that jurisdiction to migrate to Ireland, becoming in the process an ICAV.
