Frequently asked questions

Common questions about New Ireland iFunds 4 Alpha.

iFunds 4 Alpha S3 R is a mixed-asset fund that spreads its money across equities, bonds, property, alternatives, private equity and cash. The iFunds 4 Alpha S3 R fund is designed to use a range of asset classes to improve the chance of finding returns from different parts of the market. It is invested globally rather than being focused on one country or region.

iFunds 4 Alpha S3 R aims to generate capital growth over the medium to long term while managing risk in line with its risk level. Its approach is built around diversification across asset classes, a range of underlying funds, and multiple global fund managers. The idea is that no single asset class or manager will always lead the market.

The iFunds 4 Alpha S3 R portfolio includes a mix of global equity funds such as Mercer Passive Global Equity Fund, Schroders Global Equity Fund, Walter Scott Global Equity Fund and Dodge & Cox Global Stock Fund. It also holds funds including Driehaus Emerging Markets Sustainable Equity Fund, SSGA US Passive Equity Fund and Technology Indexed Fund. This broad mix shows that iFunds 4 Alpha S3 R is seeking return from several styles, regions and sectors.

iFunds 4 Alpha S3 R is aimed at investors who are comfortable staying invested for at least 5 to 7 years. The fund notes that long-term investing can help reduce the impact of short-term volatility, which means prices can move up and down quite a lot in the short run. It may suit someone looking for global growth with diversification rather than a single-market bet.

The main named risk for iFunds 4 Alpha S3 R is sustainability risk, meaning environmental, social or governance issues could affect investments and returns. The fund also uses securities lending in some underlying funds, which can increase risk even though it may add extra return. As with any multi-asset fund, its value can fluctuate over time and long-term investing does not remove the risk of loss.
