Our approach to integrating sustainability risk in investment decisions
Irish Life Investment Managers Ltd. (ILIM) and Setanta Asset Management Ltd. (Setanta) manage most of the funds we offer on our products. ILIM and Setanta are related companies, within the same group as Irish Life Assurance plc (Irish Life). We also offer customers a range of funds managed by other investment managers.
Irish Life relies on its investment managers, and ILIM and Setanta in particular, to consider sustainability risks, where appropriate, when making investment decisions. ILIM and Setanta have policies to consider sustainability risks as part of their investment processes. ILIM and Setanta believe that considering sustainability risk is in the best interest of their clients. Both firms have a Responsible Investment Committee overseeing this area.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) fund options
ESG funds are funds that are categorised as meeting the disclosure provisions set out in Article 8 or Article 9 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). This categorisation applies to funds which promote environmental and / or social characteristics or which have sustainable investments as their objective.
Our plans promote environmental or social characteristics by offering ESG fund options for you to choose from. Whether a plan attains these characteristics depends on whether you choose to invest in one or more of ESG funds during the recommended holding period.
The disclosures available from our search function below, which are produced by the fund manager in accordance with SFDR, provide further detail on how the sustainability related ambitions of each of these funds are met.
Funds that are available on your plan and that fall within the scope of SFDR can change over time. You can speak to your financial adviser if you need more information.
