Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation

As Verition Fund Management LLC (“Verition”) is the alternative investment fund manager of an alternative investment fund (“Fund”) that is registered for marketing under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (2011/61/EU) in one or more member states of the European Economic Area, it is required by the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/2088) (“SFDR”) to make certain disclosures on its website.

For the purposes of these disclosures, a “sustainability risk” is an environmental, social or governance (“ESG”) event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of an investment; and “sustainability factors” means environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights, anti‐corruption and anti‐bribery matters.

Sustainability risk policies

The Fund does not seek to promote environmental or social characteristics nor does it have a specific sustainability investment objective. Given the nature of the investments held by the Fund, Verition does not integrate sustainability risks into its investment decision‐making process. Verition employs a wide variety of investment strategies for the Fund and the relevant sustainability/ESG considerations vary according to these different strategies. As a result, Verition does not incorporate a centralised ESG approach as part of its multi-strategy model for the Fund, but seeks to consider all material factors relevant to a particular investment.

No consideration of adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors

At present, Verition does not consider the principal adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors, as contemplated by Article 4 of the SFDR, as the nature of the Fund’s investment strategies does not provide for the consideration of such adverse impacts. In addition, Verition has assessed that it cannot gather and/or measure all of the data for its multi-strategy model on which it would be obliged by the SFDR to report, in a systematic and consistent manner and at a reasonable cost to investors. Verition will continue to keep this policy under periodic review.

Remuneration policy

Verition’s remuneration policy takes into account a broad range of factors in order to determine the appropriate level of fixed and variable remuneration for an individual employee. As Verition does not integrate sustainability risks into its investment decision-making process, but instead seeks to consider all factors relevant to a particular investment, Verition does not assess sustainability risks as a separate component of any variable remuneration that may be awarded to an individual employee. Accordingly, variable remuneration takes into account, among other factors, the wider risk performance of an investment or portfolio that the employee actively manages, the Fund’s performance, and Verition’s overall financial performance.
