Fund Management Activities in Ireland - Market Analysis Report 2015-2030

Low funds: Revenue is forecast to plummet in 2023 due to a predicted recession that will drag the stock market in 2023

The Fund Management Activities industry serves major clients, including pension funds, insurance and reinsurance firms, retail clients and other institutional clients. Investors have had to contend with turbulent economic conditions during COVID-19, which triggered net asset outflows and a sub-par financial market performance, hitting management fees. Despite an impressive stock market performance in 2021, with investor hopes of the economy returning to normality, economic headwinds ranging from soaring inflation to persisting supply chain bottlenecks in 2022 meant investor euphoria was short-lived and fund managers struggled to generate healthy returns. Despite signs of improvement in 2023, with interest rates set to peak and China easing its zero-covid policy, an inevitable recession will still drag the stock market in the current year, contributing to revenue plummeting by 6.1%.

This industry includes portfolio and fund management activities provided on a fee or contract basis for individuals and businesses. It covers firms operating and managing assets domiciled in Ireland for both domestic and overseas clients.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
