Integrating Sustainability Risks into Investment Decisions (Article 3 SFDR):
In accordance with Article 3 of SFDR, the management company implements extra-financial due diligence in its pre-acquisition analysis and during the investment period. However, given the investment strategy of the managed funds in newly established technology sector companies and the specificity of the target companies' activities, it is not relevant to integrate ESG factors into investment decisions.
Statement on the Negative Impacts of Investment Decisions on ESG Factors (Article 4 SFDR):
Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on the disclosure of sustainability-related information in the financial services sector (SFDR) requires transparency on the consideration of the negative impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors (according to the "comply or explain" principle). The management company Frst Capital is not required to consider the negative impacts on sustainability factors in investment decisions, given the investment strategy of the managed Funds and the specificity of the target companies' activities (investment in newly established technology sector companies).
