The following information provided by The Asset Management Exchange (Ireland) Limited (“AMXI”) provides guidance as to how AMXI handles the implementation of the requirements set by the 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”). The SFDR requires financial market participants, such as AMXI to disclose additional information on the integration of sustainability risks and potential adverse sustainability impacts on an entity level. Our disclosures relating to the SFDR and for funds managed by AMXI that delegates portfolio management to underlying portfolio managers that are categorised as Article 8 or Article 9 can be found below.  Should you have any questions please get in touch.

Integration of sustainability risks

AMXI acts as either the UCITS management company or alternative investment fund manager in respect of the funds under its management (the “Funds”). AMXI, as the UCITS management company and/or alternative investment fund manager, delegates the discretionary portfolio management function in respect of its Funds to underlying portfolio managers. A description of the manner in which sustainability risks are integrated into the investment decision making processes in respect of each Fund, where relevant, are set out in the offering documents in respect of the Funds in accordance with the requirements of SFDR. However, in some instances, the function is discharged directly by AMXI with assistance from the portfolio manager. Information on AMXI’s approach to integrating sustainability risks can be found in our Sustainable Risk Policy.

No consideration of sustainability adverse impacts

AMXI does not currently consider the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors within the meaning of SFDR. The relevant information required to appropriately assess the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors is not yet available. AMXI will keep the decision to not consider the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors within the meaning of SFDR under regular review.

Remuneration policy

In accordance with Article 5 of SFDR, AMXI’s remuneration policy has been updated and is consistent with the integration of sustainability risks within the meaning of SFDR.
