 to improve care and reduce costs. There
are several attractive companies that are making advances in telehealth, wearable technology, and remote monitoring through better software,
AI technology, and optimization of treatment workflows.

Advancing
a platform for sustainable technology

The
2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on the scientific assessment of climate change, which was signed off by
195 member governments spells out the stakes we are up against and why we have no time to waste in taking drastic steps to build a green
economy. According to the IPCC report, global temperatures will increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial level climates by
2040. Staying below this critical 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold would reduce the odds of initiating the most dangerous and irreversible
effects of climate change. This alarming forecast has made it critical to focus on ambitious mitigation to limit warming to below 1.5
degrees Celsius by 2040 through commitments from corporations and investors. Based on the additional data gathered since the prior assessment
in 2013, the report has established an ‘unequivocal’ link between human activity and global warming. The report also flags
changes in the ocean, ice sheets and global sea level, due to past and future greenhouse gas emissions are “irreversible for centuries
to millennia.” We believe that this problem is big enough for multiple innovations and technologies to co-exist. Decarbonizing
the global economy and shifting to clean energy is not an easy task, but our management team believes that there will be an increasing
number of companies focused on technology aimed at accelerating the sustainable transition, as well as larger funding to fight the climate
crisis.

Our
goals around sustainable technology focus on businesses that are developing and advancing a platform for clean technology, including,
but not limited to, advanced transportation, industrial Internet of Things (“IoT”) and software, energy efficiency, sustainable
agriculture and materials, renewable energy, and environmental services and technologies that are poised to play a significant role in
decarbonization and sustainable transition.

Finally,
at the intersection of life sciences and sustainable technology are areas around synthetic biology. This emerging area will continue
to pave the future of many sectors including biopharmaceutical manufacturing, agriculture/food technologies, as well as energy / renewable
fuels. Attractive opportunities exist in companies that can truly understand and harness the capabilities of cells and bioprocesses to
optimize and make efficient production processes across these sectors.
