Operational Considerations Hedge Fund Managers Must Address When Redomiciling Their Hedge Funds (Part Two of Two)

When making the decision to redomicile its hedge fund to a more favorable jurisdiction, a manager must consider more than the potential marketing or other advantages the move promises. Redomiciliation involves potential regulatory burdens, conflicts of interest and operational issues, including investor notification and redemption obligations. In a recent interview with the Hedge Fund Law Report, Jonathan Law and Donnacha O’Connor, partners at Dillon Eustace, discussed the prime reasons hedge fund managers consider redomiciliation of their hedge funds. This article, the second in a two-part series, details the potential drawbacks and operational considerations of redomiciliation. The first article addressed the regulatory implications of, and potential conflicts of interest inherent in, the decision to redomicile. For more on redomiciliation, see “Redomiciling Offshore Investment Funds to Ireland, the European Gateway” (Mar. 4, 2011). For additional commentary from Law and O’Connor’s colleague, Derbhil O’Riordan, see “Four Strategies for Hedge Fund Managers for Accessing E.U. Capital Under the AIFMD” (Feb. 13, 2014).
