In Ireland, women fall behind early and continue to lose ground with every step.

A 2016 study commissioned by the 30% Club Ireland, revealed that even at the most junior level of management, women only occupy 34% of positions with their representation falling significantly at each subsequent stage of the career ladder with just 14% of Irish companies having women leaders.

“It is time to end practices of the past that are now hampering Irish business’s strategic agenda and I look forward in particular to an early end to all-male boards.  As we go into a new decade on 1 January 2020, the Government urges Irish companies to demonstrate their commitment to modernity by ensuring they all have women on their boards by then. Working together, let’s take the steps to achieve better gender balance in corporate decision-making. Taking action now will enable Irish business to maintain its proud reputation for dynamism and innovative leadership.”

The use of complex financial instruments in investment fund strategies has seen a huge increase over the past five years. Many alternative fund strategies seek to generate returns from asset classes solely created from derivative structures, such as the use of Total Return Swaps or Credit Default Swaps for long-short strategies in equities or bonds. Derivatives are now used in combination with even the most basic equity and bond management strategies.

The growth in derivative usage comes at a time of vast changes in regulatory oversight in both Europe and the US. The regulatory changes are being implemented through the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and will impact the most fundamental aspects of how these products are traded, how collateral/counter-party risk is treated and how transactions are reported.

Understanding the risk and return characteristics of complex products and the derivatives which underpin those strategies has now become a critical function in the asset management, valuation and trading areas in international financial services.
