Winton Capital registers as AIFM in Ireland - filing
LONDON, March 14 (Reuters) - British hedge fund firm Winton Capital (Other OTC: CGHC - news) has registered as an alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) in Ireland (Other OTC: IRLD - news) , the Irish central banks's website showed.
Authorisation was given on Jan. 2 and the website was updated March 5.
The move comes as a number of investment management companies in Britain enact plans to ensure they can sell to European Union clients after Britain exits from the bloc.
A source with direct knowledge of Winton's Irish move said it was part of the company's Brexit planning. A spokesman for Winton declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. (Reporting by Maiya Keidan and Simon Jessop; editing by Carolyn Cohn)
