Hey,

My research shows that though Ireland is a good domicile for corporations, it is not as good for AIFs.

In Europe the main options are:

Luxembourg - Good for large funds (very expensive)
Netherlands - New compelling offerings for a small fund (Under 100m euro), under the Small Managers Act
Estonia - Fast and Cheap (becoming a great option for small funds). REcently increased KYC measures as questionable crypto funds have set up there. EFSA doing a full review atm.
Cayman - Good in conjunction with other domiciles. Prefered by outside investors coming into Europe. Also preferred by Chinese investors in Asia rather than Singapore
