The advantages of our Dublin location

The main advantage is tax-efficiency: investments can grow largely tax-free, subject only to withholding tax (which applies to dividends on some fund assets). However, being based in Dublin has other benefits:

• Strong regulation - Dublin has a strict regulatory and legal environment and is covered by European law
• Specialist infrastructure - with over 430 international companies located in Dublin, it has a well developed financial infrastructure and a sophisticated support network
• No VAT on fees - in the Isle of Man, for instance, there is 20% VAT on fees for Discretionary Asset Management
• Within the EU - some UK pension schemes can only invest in providers based within the European Union

The registered office of Prudential International is in Ireland at Montague House, Adelaide Road, Dublin 2.
