Managing director and chief investment officer Joseph Harrigan says that to ensure CCM's fund growth ‘we will focus on Big Data and showcase each fund’s performance across the major funds centres globally through a portal.’

Following the introduction of the AIFMD in 2013, CCM was established in April 2014 by John Bohan, also currently managing director of the Apex Group of companies in Europe and the Middle East, to provide comprehensive alternative investment fund solutions to clients across the world.

CCM says its ability to work with non-discretionary managers offering a full trading function with CCM itself, as well as providing a full distribution and capital introduction framework through its own or partner networks, is a differentiator in its market space

Meanwhile, Quayside Fund Management, which currently provides third-party management company solutions to alternative investment fund managers, has been authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland to extend this service to UCITS fund managers. Eoin Smyth, CEO of Quayside, said this would enable UCITS & AIF managers focus on their front office investment management activities rather than on regulatory and reporting issues.
