Fund insights

Detailed information extracted from the fund factsheet.

Managed by State Street Investment Management

Securities lending

For some funds that invest in shares or bonds, the assets in that fund may be used for the purpose of securities lending in order to earn an additional return for the fund. While securities lending increases the level of risk within a fund it provides an opportunity to increase the investment return.

Manager commentary - March 2026

Global markets weakened in March, as war in the Middle East saw energy prices rise and reignite inflation concerns, leading investors to adopt a risk-off approach. All global market regions struggled in March, although the US market recovered some of its previous 2026 underperformance relative to Europe and Asia. On a sector basis, energy was unsurprisingly the leading performer (and only sector with a positive return). Utilities and technology sectors were the best of the rest. Consumer staples, materials, and industrials featured among the poorer performers in the month.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about New Ireland International.

The International Equity Fund aims to generate long-term capital growth by investing in a widely diversified portfolio of global equities. It is an actively managed equity fund, so State Street Investment Management selects holdings across different markets rather than simply tracking an index. The portfolio spans regions including North America, Europe, Japan and the Pacific Basin.

The International Equity Fund's top holdings include Alphabet, Amazon, American Tower, Apple, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Nvidia Corporation, Taiwan Semiconductor, VISA and Walmart. These names show that the fund is invested in a mix of technology, healthcare, communications and consumer businesses. The exact mix may change over time because the fund is actively managed.

The International Equity Fund is designed for investors seeking long-term growth and who can stay invested for at least 5-7 years. That time frame matters because share prices can move up and down in the short term. The fund may suit someone who wants broad exposure to global stock markets and can accept that values will fluctuate.

The International Equity Fund carries equity market risk, which means its value can rise or fall with the stock market and individual company prices. It also highlights sustainability risks, meaning environmental, social or governance issues could affect some of the companies it holds. The fund may also use securities lending, which can add risk because securities are temporarily loaned out to earn extra return.

The International Equity Fund is broadly diversified across several regions, including North American, Eurozone, Japanese, U.K., other European and Pacific Basin equities. This spread helps the fund avoid relying on just one market, although it does not remove market risk. Its global approach is central to the International Equity Fund's objective of long-term capital growth.
