Abstract

This article launches a new data series on the assets and liabilities of investment funds (IFs). For the first time in Ireland, individual fund types are identified, including hedge funds. The article discusses how the new data will enhance analysis of the funds industry and their role in financial intermediation. From the establishment of the IFSC in 1987, the size of the IF sector in Ireland has increased rapidly, and Irish resident investment funds (not including money market funds) had €414.6 billion of assets under management in September 2009. Included in the article is a detailed quarterly balance sheet for four different fund types (equity, bond, hedge and other) covering four quarters, starting in the final quarter of 2008. Data on transactions are also included along the same breakdown as assets and liabilities. This article also presents data on money market funds (MMFs), to give a comprehensive overview of the size of investment funds resident in Ireland.
