Abstract: 

Authorization in Ireland as a Qualifying Investor Fund (“QIF”) has proved to be an attractive option for fund promoters, particularly those establishing hedge funds and other alternative investment fund structures. This is mainly due to the significant investment flexibility which the Irish regulatory regime offers in respect of these vehicles. A QIF is targeted at “sophisticated” investors, as opposed to retail investors and, consequently, certain minimum investment thresholds and net worth tests must be met.
