Frequently asked questions

Common questions about New Ireland Passive IRIS Fund 2021.

Passive IRIS 2021 (6P) uses a lifestyle approach that gradually shifts from a higher-risk mix into a lower-risk, more stable mix as retirement gets closer. The fund invests across equities, bonds, alternatives, property and cash, with the mix designed to change over time rather than stay fixed. This helps Passive IRIS 2021 (6P) adapt the portfolio to a target retirement year of 2021.

Passive IRIS 2021 (6P) is primarily aimed at investors who want to place retirement savings into an Approved Retirement Fund at retirement. It is designed for people with a medium to long-term horizon, with at least 5-7 years to invest. The fund is built to support savers moving toward retirement rather than those looking for a static long-term allocation.

Passive IRIS 2021 (6P) follows a lifecycle or lifestyle framework, so its asset mix is expected to change over time as retirement nears.

Passive IRIS 2021 (6P) is exposed to sustainability risks, meaning environmental, social or governance-related events could affect the value of its investments. The impact would depend on the asset type, and severe events could be more significant for equities and property than for bonds or alternatives.
