1 Hedge Funds Ireland Providing insights on Hedge Funds Ireland is a jurisdiction that is synonymous with hedge funds. After all, over 40% of global hedge funds are serviced in Ireland, making it the largest hedge fund administration centre in the world and Europe s leading hedge fund domicile. Irish domiciled hedge funds account for USD 100 billion in assets. As is shown in the chart opposite, despite a decline in 2008 as a result of the credit crisis, Irish hedge funds have grown steadily over the last six years and have now surpassed the pre crisis asset levels. Ireland was the first regulated jurisdiction to provide a regulatory framework specifically for the hedge fund industry and remains at the forefront in preparing for, and reacting to, regulatory and market developments. The majority of hedge funds set up in Ireland are structured as Qualifying Investor Funds (QIFs). The Irish Qualifying Investor Fund (QIF) is a well established, regulated investment fund vehicle that addresses the flexibility and speed to market requirements of sophisticated investors. The QIF has the characteristics and flexibility of typical hedge fund products while authorised and regulated by the Central Bank and already meeting many of the pending regulatory standards being agreed at EU level, such as those in the AIFMD.
