How Acumen & Trust approaches the integration of sustainability risks when we give you advice about our products: A ‘sustainability risk’ is defined as an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment. In other words, the risk of something taking place which causes a fall in the value of a product we recommend to you. When we give you advice, we use a range of information to help you make an informed decision; this includes: How long you want to save or invest your money for Whether you need your money in an emergency Your attitude to investment risk – i.e. the potential for losses and gains and the volatility of investments Explaining to you how the funds we may recommend are invested and their features, including how sustainability risks are considered in the management in relation to those funds. Acumen & Trust does not currently take specific account of sustainability risks in its advice process. How we include sustainability factors in our advice process which will develop over time. This will be largely driven by the products and investment funds available from the Product Producers and how these products factor in sustainability risks. Consideration of principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors in the advice process Sustainability Factors are defined as environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery matters. Acumen & Trust have an option as to whether to consider the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors in its advice process. Currently Acumen & Trust has decided not to consider such impacts separately from our overall risk framework.

Under the SFDR, Product Providers are obliged to publish a statement explaining their due diligence policies with respect to the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors by 30 June 2021. Acumen & Trust will actively monitor its position and update its processes, as further information becomes available from Product Providers.
