Islandbridge - What is in a name?

Our Firm takes its name from a bridge that spans the River Liffey, in Dublin, Ireland. 

It is where Trinity College Dublin has its boathouse, and where our founder rowed for his University. 

Islandbridge is also home to gardens that commemorate the Irish who died fighting for the Allied Forces in World War I.

As a team serving globally, sharing the Islandbridge name is a profound reminder of what people have given to help others.

MiFID II – Best Execution

The best execution disclosures of Islandbridge are available here. 

MiFIDPRU 8 Disclosure

Islandbridge Capital Limited (‘’Firm’’ or ‘’Islandbridge’’) is regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) with FRN 491377. It is authorised as a Markets in Financial Instrument Directive (“MiFID”) Investment Manager. As MiFID firm, it is subject to the Investment Firms Prudential Regime (“IFPR”). Under this regime, it is categorised as a small and non-interconnected firm (“SNI”) and adheres to all requirements applicable to SNI firms, including remuneration requirements. SNI firms are required to adhere to “basic” remuneration requirements and comply with the requirements applicable to SNI firms in the FCA Handbook at SYSC 19G. FCA Handbook MIFIDPRU 8.6 requires SNI firms to publicly disclose information about their remuneration arrangements. As part of these requirements, Islandbridge is required to publish remuneration data upon the publication of its annual accounts. Firm’s account period is fiscal year end, and this statement has been produced and published in line with the remuneration period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023.

The remuneration policy provides detail of our remuneration practices and how we adhere to requirements for both SYSC 19G. Islandbridge’s Governing Body –  which also serves as the Remuneration Committee – is responsible for the Firm’s renumeration policy.

The Firm’s renumeration policy is designed to ensure compliance with Firm’s regulatory requirements as well as the business requirements, in that it:

  1. is consistent with and promotes sound and effective risk management;
  2. does not encourage excessive risk-taking;
  3. ensures appropriate controls are in place;
  4. includes measures to avoid conflicts of interest;
  5. is in line with the Firm’s business strategy, objectives, values and long-term interests;
  6. ensures the long-term success of the Firm and its clients; and
  7. promotes fairness in the way that remuneration is allocated and to employees.

The structure of remuneration across the Firm is consistent and all variable remuneration is adjusted in line with capital and liquidity requirements.

 

Individuals are rewarded based on their contribution to the overall strategy of the business. The Firm will incentivise staff through a combination of fixed (salary and benefits) and variable (discretionary bonus)  remuneration. All staff are eligible to receive variable remuneration provided they met relevant performance criteria. Variable remuneration is linked to individual meeting or exceeding performance objectives that are aligned with the Firm’s goals. Performance metrics may include both financial and non-financial measures. Islandbridge has a formal appraisal process for each member of staff. The firm has a low risk appetite in relation to compliance and conduct risk and expects staff members to demonstrate this in their behaviour. A breach of any firm policy or FCA Conduct Rules is likely to have an impact on the reward paid to a member of staff.

Islandbridge considers the performance of the Firm, business units, and individuals when determining staff remuneration. The criteria for evaluation includes regulatory compliance, risk management, conduct, corporate social responsibility, client satisfaction and trust, product quality and innovation, reputation and brand recognition, overall financial and investment performance, employee engagement and retention,  professional development and training, and other financial and non-financial goals and targets.

The Firm’s aggregate employees remuneration in the period was 1,534,312 of which 83% contributed to fixed and 17% contributed to variable. In addition to remuneration, the Firm considers other incentives that ensure Islandbridge is an attractive place to work.
