SS&C Technologies has launched a regulated European wealth management entity in Dublin, following MiFID authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. The move enables the global fintech and software provider to deliver integrated wealth management services directly across the European Union, leveraging Ireland’s strategic role as a financial gateway.

Supported by IDA Ireland, SS&C Wealth Services Europe is designed to serve financial institutions seeking to modernise operations and meet evolving regulatory expectations. The Dublin hub builds on SS&C’s existing Irish business, which manages over €95 billion (US$110 billion) in assets and employs more than 550 professionals. Globally, SS&C oversees $6.1 trillion in private wealth assets and serves over 23,000 organisations, ranking #13 in the OA500 2025 outsourcing index.

Nick Wright, Global Head of SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, emphasised that MiFID authorisation gives the firm flexibility to replicate its successful UK wealth management model across Europe. By operating under the oversight of the Central Bank of Ireland, the company gains efficient access to the single market via the MiFID passporting framework, facilitating pan-European expansion.

The decision reinforces Ireland’s attractiveness as an EU financial services hub, offering a stable, pro-business environment and a skilled workforce. Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland, highlighted that such investments drive economic growth through foreign direct investment in high-value sectors.

This expansion represents both a strategic growth step for SS&C and a vote of confidence in Ireland’s regulatory and business landscape. The Dublin entity will integrate local expertise with the firm’s global platform, enhancing operational efficiency, compliance, and service delivery across the continent.
