Article 4(1)(b) of 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”) requires fund managers to publish a statement regarding the consideration of principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors.
At this stage, QRT doesn’t consider principal adverse impacts in its investment programs. Whilst QRT considers potential environmental, social and governance factors in the operation of the management company, these factors are not considered when making investment decisions as the firm’s current fund management mandates are purely to seek risk-based returns.
As QRT does not integrate sustainability factors with investment decisions, QRT’s remuneration policy also does not reflect any such integration. The funds managed by QRT are classified as Article 6 funds within the meaning of the SFDR.
