The Fund acquires existing semi-mature forest plantations in Ireland and transitions them from a management regime based on clear-felling to a more sustainable form of management known as continuous cover forestry. Where possible, the Fund also establishes new forests with a diverse set of tree species on marginal agricultural land.

IPAF Rating
The IPAF successively assesses two dimensions of the impact potential of financial products. First, it assesses the (maximum) impact potential of financial products based on impact mechanisms they supposedly apply (in relation to communicated elements in marketing documents). Those impact mechanisms are the ones widely documented by academic research: Grow new/undersupplied markets ; Provide flexible capital ; Engage actively ; Send (market and nonmarket) signals. Second, it evaluates the implementation of that impact potential based on the intensity with which financial products action the various impact mechanisms in connection to success factors documented by academic research. At the end of the scoring process, the IPAF delivers an Impact Potential Score.
The Impact Potential Score is then transformed into an Impact Potential Rating that goes from A (products with highest impact potential) to G (products with lowest impact potential).

According to Section 1 of Annex II to Directive 2014/65/EU an investor is considered to be a qualified or professional client when he or she possesses the experience, knowledge and expertise to make his or her own investment decisions and properly assess the risks that it incurs.
According to the same directive, retail investors, are clients who do not fall within the scope of the definition of a qualified or professional client. In other words, a retail investor is considered to have less literacy and less money to invest.
