Registers for financial service providers and collective investment schemes

12,720 legal entities cite this business registry in the RegistrationAuthorityID field of their LEI record, which is how GLEIF ties an LEI back to the national register the entity is incorporated in. 99% of them are registered at an address in Ireland, and entities in 6 different countries cite it.

The earliest LEI pointing here was registered 5 Jun 2012, the most recent 22 Oct 2026 — a span of 14 years. 70% of these LEIs are currently issued, 21% have lapsed. The most common legal form among them is Other legal form (not in the ISO 20275 list) (8,460, 67% of the total).

9,836 of them (77%) report at least one consolidating parent or fund relationship in GLEIF Level 2 data, and 861 (7%) have at least one ISIN-identified security mapped to the LEI. A registration authority is not the LEI issuer. The issuer is the Local Operating Unit (LOU) that validated and maintains the record, and the two are usually different organisations, often in different countries. An LEI record names both: the registry that proves the entity exists, and the LOU that vouches for the reference data.
