Q

Qualifying Investor Fund
A qualifying investor fund is a category of non-UCITS investment fund authorised by the Financial Regulator for which investment and borrowing restrictions are disapplied in full. QIFs have a minimum subscription requirement of €250,000. Investment is restricted to qualifying investors who certify that they are aware of the risks involved and the fact that they may lose the entire sum invested. A qualifying investor is defined as an individual with a minimum net worth (excluding main residence and household goods) in excess of €1.25 million or an institution, which owns or invests on a discretionary basis at least €25 million.
