Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Irish Life Forum 4.
Irish Life Forum 4 can invest across a broad mix of asset classes, including bonds, shares, property, cash and other assets. It generally keeps a moderate allocation to higher-risk assets such as shares and property, while Irish Life Investment Managers monitors and adjusts the mix over time. This means the fund is designed to stay diversified rather than rely on one market.
Irish Life Forum 4 aims to achieve positive returns while staying within its target risk level. It does this by continually managing the balance between different assets and may also use derivatives to help manage risk or operate the fund more efficiently. Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is linked to another investment, and they are often used to control risk rather than to buy assets directly.
Irish Life Forum 4 combines a passive investment style with an ESG-focused approach. It targets strategies that exclude or reduce exposure to companies with weaker sustainability characteristics and increase exposure to those with stronger ones, and it also considers sustainability when selecting property and alternative funds. That gives the fund a sustainability tilt while still keeping a broad multi-asset structure.
The main risk specifically highlighted for Irish Life Forum 4 is currency exchange rates. This matters because the fund can hold assets outside the euro area, and movements in exchange rates can increase or reduce returns when those investments are converted back to euro. The fund may hedge non-euro exposures fully or partly back to euro to help reduce that risk.
Irish Life Forum 4 invests across several regions, including the US, UK, Europe, Japan, Asia Pacific, emerging markets and other areas. Its holdings also include large global companies such as NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet. For an investor seeking broad international exposure within a fund that also manages to a target risk level, Irish Life Forum 4 may be relevant.
