We believe there is considerable potential for expansion  in this market,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d he added.<\/p>\n<p>  The Belfast office will become part of Bank of Ireland Securities Services (BOISS), the fund administration and custody arm of the Bank of Ireland Group.<\/p>\n<p>  Rapid growth in the hedge fund administration business has already helped create a boom in jobs and prosperity in Dublin. BOISS currently employs 370 people in Dublin&#8217;s International Financial  Services Centre, but capacity constraints and staffing issues have forced administrators to look beyond the Irish capital in order to expand their businesses.<\/p>\n<p>  The emergence of a hedge fund administration scene in Belfast could provide a real boost for the Northern Irish economy, which has been resurgent since the restoration of devolution earlier this  year.<\/p>\n<p>  Alex Akesson<br \/>  Editor for HedgeCo.Net<br \/>  Email: <a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>    HedgeCo.Net is a premier hedge fund database and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
