For INVESTORS

---

Institutional discipline, applied to film and television stories with emotional and long-term value.

The IEL Model is designed for professional and private investors who seek structured exposure to film and television, while recognising that the emotional power and cultural legacy of stories are fundamental drivers of long-term value.

IEL’s role is to provide a disciplined framework for project selection, portfolio construction and ongoing oversight.

Where capital is deployed using the IEL Model, investment vehicles and arrangements are established, governed and managed by appropriately regulated entities in the relevant jurisdictions.

The IEL team operates as a specialist media and portfolio-design partner and does not act as a regulated investment manager or financial intermediary

Family Offices and Private Investors

Investors seeking exposure to carefully selected film and television projects as part of a diversified portfolio, within professionally governed structures.

Specialist Investment Providers and Advisors

Regulated firms who draw on IEL’s media expertise, selection discipline and oversight processes when constructing and managing their own investment offerings.

Mission-aligned capital

Investors who value both financial outcomes and the emotional, cultural and legacy impact of the stories they help bring into the world.

The IEL Model provides a structured approach to evaluating, selecting and overseeing film and television projects.

It is applied within investment vehicles or arrangements that are created, managed and overseen by regulated providers.

Within those regulated structures, the model typically supports:

Portfolio-based risk management

Capital allocation decisions are overseen by the relevant regulated entity across a diversified portfolio of projects selected using IEL criteria — balancing budget ranges, formats, genres and markets.

Transparent economic frameworks

Project economics are defined in advance within the governing documentation of the regulated vehicle, often reflecting principles such as:

• Priority return of committed capital from project revenues
   
• A defined premium on capital (for example, a target priority return such as 15%)
   
• Producer participation, capped at an agreed share
   
• Performance-linked participation for IEL-related contributors, aligned with overall outcomes
   

Multiple revenue streams and long term orientation

The model focuses on the full commercial life of each project — including theatrical, broadcast, streaming, international sales, ancillary rights and library value — rather than short-term release performance alone.

Specific terms, structures and risk factors are always set out in the formal documentation of the regulated vehicle or arrangement adopting the IEL Model.

The IEL Model is designed to feel familiar to investors accustomed to institutional standards, while remaining grounded in the realities of film and television.

Structured selection and oversight

Projects are assessed across financial, creative and IEL-specific dimensions, including budget realism, distribution pathways, market comparable, audience data, enjoyment and legacy potential.

Use of data and modelling

Scenario analysis, portfolio modelling and historical performance data support decision-making by regulated partners and investors, alongside experienced human judgement.

Lean aligned structure

The IEL team operates alongside regulated entities. Its economics are designed to align with long-term project success and investor outcomes, rather than transaction volume.

Clear roles, not advice

IEL provides frameworks, analysis and oversight support. Investment decisions are made with involvement of investors themselves and/or by their appointed regulated advisers as we feel this engagement adds value to the whole experience.
 

Most approaches to media finance prioritise either financial engineering or creative instinct. The IEL Model deliberately integrates both — with a third dimension: emotional and legacy value.

• Audience enjoyment and emotional resonance are treated as core drivers of financial performance
   
• Projects are evaluated beyond first release, with emphasis on IP durability and long-tail value
   
• Institutional-style discipline is applied without creating a heavy, product-led organisation
   

In short, the IEL Model offers a disciplined, emotionally intelligent and long-term way of engaging with film and television — one that regulated providers and sophisticated investors may choose to adopt within their own structures.
