Depending on the investment, certain climate-risk factors, such as climate change physical and transition risks and conservation opportunities, and other similar matters, could have a material effect on the return and risk of the investment. The Company, acting as the Investment Manager, endeavours to consider material climate-risk factors in connection with its investment activities for the Fund in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. However, selecting and evaluating material climate-risk factors is subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the criteria utilised by the Investment Manager or any judgement exercised by the Investment Manager will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular Shareholder or align with the practices of other investment managers or with market trends. Considering climate-risk factors when evaluating an investment may cause the Fund not to make an investment that it would have made in the absence of such consideration. Additionally, climate-risk factors are only some of the many factors the Investment Manager may consider in making an investment for the Fund, and there is no guarantee that the Fund will make investments that create a positive environmental impact or that consideration of climate-risk factors will enhance long-term value and financial returns for Shareholders. Similarly, to the extent the Fund engages with portfolio companies (if any) on climate-risk related practices and potential enhancements thereto, there is no guarantee that such engagements will improve the financial or environmental performance of the investment. Successful engagement efforts on the part of the Fund will depend on Investment Manager’s skill in properly identifying and analysing material climate-risk, and other factors and their value, and there can be no assurance that the strategy or techniques employed will be successful. In addition, the Investment Manager’s climate- risk programmes and policies for the Fund may change over time. Finally, in evaluating an investment for the Fund, the Investment Manager often depends upon information and data provided directly by the portfolio company (if any) or obtained via third-party reporting or advisors which may be incomplete or inaccurate and could cause the Investment Manager to incorrectly assess the investment’s climate-risk practices and/or related risks and opportunities.
