It operates on the interest generated by an endowment valued at $35 million, and by recoupment from its investments. An independent Board of Directors representing the industry oversees the operations of the fund and makes all investment decisions.

The IPF also administers the COGECO Fund and the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund, and is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year.
