Date added: 24 October 2025

We are pleased to share a memo summarising key insights from FBC’s recent Ireland Roundtable.​

The FBC Ireland Roundtable, held in Dublin on 16 October 2025, convened over 30 fund directors, senior executives, and regulators from Ireland and the UK to discuss evolving governance in asset management amid technological, regulatory, and investor expectation changes.

Themes discussed included:

  • Board evolving responsibilities
  • Independence and proportionality in boards
  • Digital readiness and AI literacy
  • Cross-jurisdictional regulatory convergence
  • Board skills evaluation and CBI thematic review

Many thanks to Gavin Curran (CBI) and Michael Collins (FCA) for their invaluable contributions, and to Ann Prendergast of State Street Investment Management for hosting this important discussion.

FBC Corporate Members can access the memo in the Member Portal.

In this Digital Meeting, FBC will explore how the evolving regulatory landscape and their firms’ governance is shaping fund boards’ oversight of investment managers (IMs). We share findings from a FBC’s own research into how fund boards are holding their IMs to account across a range of areas, such as alignment with investment objectives, capacity constraints, risk management, culture and conflicts to name but a few.
