In this context, the term Clients refers to the Funds managed by the Company. In practice, the definition extends to the Fund’s underlying investors.

This high level and over-arching concept is achieved through every employee (including the Company’s management and Officers) of the Company acting in an ethical way and accepting personal responsibility for their actions in all of their dealings.

EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation

The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (‘SFDR’) entered into force on 10 March 2021. The Regulation requires managers to better inform end-investors with regard to the integration of sustainability risks, the consideration of adverse sustainability impacts, the promotion of environmental or social characteristics, and sustainable investment, as applicable.

This document specifically addresses Article 3, Article 10, Articles 24 – Article 37 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (‘Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation’).

The Company does not carry out any discretionary investment management in respect of any of the funds under the Company’s management but rather delegates the investment management function of funds under the Company’s management to an investment manager (the “Investment Manager”) contractually charged with collective portfolio management.

The integration of sustainability risk into the delegate Investment Manager’s investment decision-making process will vary depending on the investment objective and policies of the fund in question, and the internal approach taken by each relevant Investment Manager.
