The IPAF is applicable to a wide range of different financial product categories, we have designed four different assessment grids to match the various product types:

•  Private Equity funds: These funds invest on the primary markets. This means that they invest in stock of private companies that do not offer stock to the general public.
•  Venture Capital funds: Particular form of private equity funds that invest in startups, early-stage, and emerging companies that have been deemed to have high growth potential or which have demonstrated high growth but who also present a high-risk element.
•  Private debt fund: This financial product enables debt finance to be provided to companies from funds, rather than banks, bank-led syndicates, or public markets.
• Crowdfunding : Mechanism for collecting financial contributions from a large number of individuals to finance a project
• Infrastructure funds: Funds that invest primarily in facilities and utilities that provide essential services to communities.
• Peer to peer lending : Mechanism that enables individuals to obtain loans directly from other individuals, cutting out the financial institution as the middleman
• Savings account: Bank account that remunerates its holder according to the interest rate determined by the banking institution.
