Ireland’s financial sector is facing a shortage of technologists

QIFs back in fashion among Ireland’s fund administrators
Launching a Newcits fund is so 2010. If Ireland’s fund administration professionals want to locate themselves near a real growth area, they should look towards the increasing predilection for qualified investment funds (QIFs).

If rumours are to be believed, Irish financial services professionals are leaving the country in their droves to pursue opportunities in more buoyant markets.
