Holding Restrictions – Investment Funds – Ireland

31.03.2020

Restrictions on customers

CBL customers domiciled in Ireland are not allowed to hold the Irish investment funds on the Register market through CBL. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure compliance with this restriction.

Certain funds may impose specific restrictions on investor domicile (for example, in the case of U.S. persons) due to taxation and securities law considerations. Customers must refer to and abide by the restrictions (if any) contained in the fund prospectus before entering into transactions.

Sanction laws may restrict the operation of the fund in countries that are subject to sanctions.  

Restrictions on settlement

There is no general restriction on settlement on Irish investment funds through CBL. However, certain funds may impose specific settlement/transfer restrictions. Customers must refer to and abide by the restrictions (if any) contained in the fund prospectus before entering into transactions.
