Pre-contractual disclosures pursuant to Art. 6 (1), 7 (2) and 8 (1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (“SFDR”)
Disclosure on sustainability risks (Art. 6 (1) SFDR)

Yabeo Advisors GmbH (the “Manager”) addresses sustainability risks in its investment decision-making process insofar as relevant. ‘Sustainability risk’ means an environmental, social, or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment. When identifying a sustainability risk during the due diligence on potential investments, the Manager decides in light of the specific situation taking due account of the proportionality principle whether it gives up on the investment or proceeds with the investment alongside appropriate measures to mitigate the relevant sustainability risk. The Manager regularly reviews its policies to ensure that they address new and emerging risks as well as investors’ concerns. Currently, the manager does not expect sustainability risks to have a negative impact on the fund’s returns.

Disclosure on adverse impacts (Art. 7 (2) SFDR)

The Manager does not consider principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors. ‘Sustainability factors’ mean environmental, social, and employee matters, respect for human rights, anti‐corruption, and anti‐bribery matters. The Manager does not use sustainability indicators. Considering the numerous legal uncertainties currently related to the application of the provisions of the SFDR and the Regulatory Technical Standards (“RTS”) – in particular with respect to the consideration of adverse impacts – and the administrative burden resulting from such uncertainties, the Manager is not in a position to commit to such standard in light of its fiduciary duty to the fund and its investors. The Manager will constantly monitor and review the evolution around such regulations and standards and intends to change its position on adverse impacts once (i) a best practice has evolved among market participants, (ii) there is clear guidance by the administrations on the application of such regulations and (iii) the consequences of a commitment towards the consideration of principal adverse impacts are reasonably clear to the Manager.
