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.

ESG & sustainability

Article 8 funds or Light Green Funds are defined as funds which promote environmental or social characteristics (although not exclusively) and which invest in companies that follow good governance practices. The underlying investments do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.

Positive screening

The fund promotes environmental or social characteristics (although not exclusively) and invests in companies that follow good governance practices.

Lifecycle strategy

Target retirement year: 2018

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about New Ireland Passive IRIS Fund 2018.

Passive IRIS 2018 (6P) uses a lifestyle strategy that gradually shifts its asset mix from a higher-risk growth position to a lower-risk, more stable one as retirement gets closer. It can invest across equities, bonds, alternatives, property and cash, with the mix changing over time to match the investor’s journey to retirement. This approach is designed to help safeguard retirement savings as the target year approaches.

Passive IRIS 2018 (6P) is primarily aimed at investors who want to place retirement savings into an Approved Retirement Fund at retirement. The fund is built around a target retirement year, so it is intended for people who want their investments to be managed in line with when they expect to retire. It is generally suitable for a medium- to long-term horizon of at least 5-7 years.

Passive IRIS 2018 (6P) is different because its asset allocation is not fixed: it gradually becomes more defensive as retirement nears. That means the fund is designed to reduce exposure to more volatile assets over time and increase exposure to steadier ones. The underlying investment management is carried out by State Street Investment Management.

Passive IRIS 2018 (6P) is classified as an Article 8 fund, meaning it promotes environmental or social characteristics and invests in companies that follow good governance practices. It is not exclusively sustainable, and the underlying investments do not specifically follow the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. In simple terms, it aims to tilt toward better environmental, social and governance practices without being a fully sustainable fund.

Passive IRIS 2018 (6P) is exposed to sustainability risks, which means events linked to environmental, social or governance issues could affect the value of the assets it holds. Those effects can be more significant for equities and property than for bonds or alternatives. The fund may also use securities lending in some holdings, which can increase risk while seeking extra return.
