Introduction to the International Film Fund
At the International Film Fund (IFF), we pioneer a secured investment approach by exclusively backing productions and intellectual properties with pre-arranged distribution agreements. This strategy not only strengthens our market position but also significantly reduces the financial risks traditionally associated with film financing.
​
Our expertise extends beyond new productions to include strategic investments in back catalogues and music rights. These assets are meticulously selected based on their historical performance and potential for sustained earnings, adding an extra layer of financial stability and predictability for our investors. Our commitment to diversified, secured, and structured financing distinguishes us in the industry, ensuring capital preservation and consistent returns.
Asset Focus
In addition to financing current film projects, IFF invests in valuable back catalogues and music rights. These assets, known for their established audiences and continuous earnings potential, form a stable and profitable component of our investment portfolio. By incorporating these assets, we diversify our investment base and capitalize on the enduring value of established entertainment properties.
How It Works – Structured Senior Debt Financing
IFF protects investor capital using a robust senior debt financing model. This approach is reinforced by:
-
Secured Senior Debt Positions: IFF ensures priority repayment rights, superseding all other financial claims.
-
Contract-Backed Revenue Streams: Our investments are backed by pre-sold licensing, music royalties, and syndicated TV assets.
-
Multi-Layered Risk Protection: Through collateralized lending, independent audits, and stringent underwriting processes.
IFF offers a structured return of 10% annually, contractually guaranteed, thus eliminating the uncertainties associated with speculative investments.​​​
