Sustainability disclosures
Equanimity Capital B.V. (the Fund Manager) is registered as a 'light' manager under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), pursuant to Article 2:66a of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht, Wft). The Fund Manager manages Equanimity Fund (the Fund), a long-only listed equity fund with a relatively concentrated portfolio of circa 20 long-term investments in high-quality companies based in developed markets. Light managers under AIFMD are required to comply with certain disclosures in the field of sustainability, which arise from Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR). The below sets out the website disclosures of the Fund Manager as required under SFDR.
​
Integration of sustainability risks
Sustainability risks are events in the ecological, social, or governance domains that, if they occur, may have an actual or potential materially adverse effect on the value of the investment. The Fund Manager has identified sustainability risks relevant to the Fund, in relation to climate risk, labor practices and taxation/regulation.The Fund Manager integrates sustainability risks by focusing on long-term business quality, thereby considering the following core question while making an investment: "is there a high degree of confidence that this prospective investment will be worth significantly more over the long-term?". The fund documentation details how the Fund Manager considers the three sustainability risks specific to the Fund when making an equity investment.
​
Integration of sustainability risks in the remuneration policy
The aforementioned sustainability risks have not been integrated into the remuneration policy of the Fund Manager, as the Fund Manager has not established a remuneration policy. Under the Wft, the Fund Manager is not required to establish a remuneration policy in line with AIFMD.
​
No consideration of adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors
Making an investment could have adverse impact on sustainability factors, such as the environment. When considering a (potential) investment, the Fund Manager does not consider such potential negative impacts on sustainability factors. The Fund Manager considers certain fundamental characteristics when making investment decisions, as outlined in the fund documentation. However, the fundamental characteristics considered by the Fund Manager do not include adverse impact on sustainability.
