POLICY FOR THE INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABILITY RISKS - English
Sustainability risks are an environmental, social or governance event or circumstance which, if it occurs, could have an actual or potential material adverse impact on the value of an investment.
The Rational Investor ApS, has one alternative investment fund under management, Ulveman Partnership A/S.
Ulveman Partnership A/S has a hedge fund strategy and invests primarily in listed securities across different sectors and without geographical limitations.
Based on Ulveman Partnership A/S' investment strategy, The Rational Investor ApS has identified the following relevant categories of sustainability risks:
- Natural disasters: A single natural disaster (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and similar natural events) has the potential to damage or destroy a company's infrastructure or affect a company's ability to deliver, thus affecting the value of an investment.
- Taxes, duties and other legal requirements: Changes in tax rules on, for example, non-climate-friendly forms of energy, as well as other legal requirements, may increase the costs of running a business and thus affect the value of an investment.
- Consumer behaviour: Trends in the environmental and social demands of consumers can affect the value of an investment.
- Negative market publicity: Negative market publicity due to problematic environmental, social or governance issues, such as publicity regarding violations of environmental legislation, unacceptable working conditions or bribery, can affect the value of an investment.
- Corruption, bribery, conflicts of interest, and tax matters: Poor management of a company can affect the value of a given investment. Partly because a company can be fined and thus costs in connection with this. Partly because there may have been an act contrary to the company's own interests to the detriment of the company.
The Rational Investor ApS integrates sustainability risks into the general investment decision-making process by including sustainability risk considerations in both the overall assessment of investment opportunities and the ongoing monitoring of investments made. The sustainability risk integration described does not involve the use of specific screening criteria, exclusion criteria, or other special tools.
Failure to take into account the negative impact of investment decisions on sustainability factors
The Rational Investor ApS does not take into account the negative impact of its investment decisions on sustainability factors.
The reason for this is that The Rational Investor ApS considers it its task to provide the highest possible return to investors, and that taking into account the most important negative impacts on sustainability factors could result in a limitation of investment opportunities and thus could negatively affect investors' potential returns.
Lack of coherence between the integration of sustainability risks and remuneration
The Rational Investor ApS does not have a remuneration policy and there is no connection between the integration of sustainability risks and the remuneration of The Rational Investor ApS.
