The Irish Association of Investment Managers (IAIM) recently attended the British Irish Chamber of Commerce's annual Financial Services Seminar in London, held in partnership with the City of London Corporation. The event, themed 'Growth Unleashed - Realising the Potential of the UK-Ireland Relationship', served as a key platform for reinforcing the enduring economic ties between the two islands.
IAIM acknowledges the fundamental importance of the UK-Ireland relationship for the investment management industry. This connection facilitates significant capital flows, supports a shared ecosystem of talent and innovation and offers vital growth opportunities for firms in both Dublin and London. Effectively navigating the evolving financial landscape relies heavily on this continued partnership.
A strong consensus emerged from the seminar, reflecting a broader perspective within the Irish financial community: We will continue to prioritise and cultivate our business relationship with the UK. This commitment is essential not only for the investment management sector but also for wider economic prosperity across these islands.
As the dedicated voice for investment managers in Ireland, IAIM supports initiatives that strengthen this crucial economic bridge. Our engagement in forums like the BICC seminar underscores the importance of this dialogue in fostering a stable, competitive environment conducive to sustained cross-border business and investment.
