Sustainability
The investment policy of the Fund is to generate long-term capital appreciation through equity and equity related instruments in selected entities. The Fund’s investment strategy is to make, directly or through intermediate vehicles, investments in early stage companies in Industry 4.0-related sectors, with innovative business models and promising enabling technologies. These companies shall focus on cutting edge technology and support the demand for decentralization, connectivity, sustainability and security.
As of the date of this Memorandum, the Fund has started investing its funds and identified investment opportunities in start-ups in order to realize risk diversification effects in a well-balanced portfolio in accordance with the investment policy.
While building the portfolio of investments, the Fund and the AIFM have not designed and adopted for the Fund an internal policy with respect to the integration of sustainability risks in the investment decision-making process. Besides the AIFM has not implemented measures to assess the likely impact of such Sustainability Risks on the returns of the Fund. Sustainability risks are defined as environmental, social or governance events or conditions that the AIFM considers could have a principal adverse impact on the value of one or more investments in the Fund in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector, as amended or supplemented from time to time (respectively “Sustainability Risks” and “SFDR”).
Having due regard to the singular nature of start-ups, the diversity of the industries into which they are developing their businesses, it is expected that it will be difficult to identify common sustainability factors applicable to all the targeted companies and to be provided with reliable data from such early stage companies. As a result, it is not deemed relevant at the date of this Memorandum to integrate Sustainability Risks into the investment decision-making process of the Fund within the meaning of Article 6 (1) §2 of SFDR. Identifying and integrating Sustainability Risks common to the portfolio of assets could prevent the Fund to deploy its investment policy in a timely manner if it had to ensure that each targeted company would be able to meet its objectives in terms of sustainability and to provide appropriate and reliable data in respect thereto. As a consequence, the AIFM will not assess the likely impact of such Sustainability Risks on the returns of the Fund.
Nevertheless, the AIFM and the Fund are working towards the establishment of guiding principles with respect to the integration of environmental, social and governance risk factors that will be applicable to the investments of the Fund in the course of their development and that both the AIFM and the Fund will strive to follow.
The above statements are provided solely for informational purposes in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector ("SFDR").
