GAC SGR ESG Responsible Investment Policy GAC Principal Adverse Sustainability Impact Statement SFDR GAIF ESG Transparency (SFDR) GAPDFII_ESG Transparency (SFDR) GAIF classified as ‘Article 9’ under SFDR. Following the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (the “SFDR”) which was published on 27 November 2019, asset managers are required to classify their investment products according to the level of sustainability and to adjust related documentation and reporting accordingly. The SFDR aims to provide greater transparency to investors addressing the following issues: (i) how sustainability risks are integrated within the management of a Fund; and (ii) environmental / social characteristics or sustainable investment objectives promoted by a Fund Specific categories of sustainable classification aim to help investors to get a better guidance in terms of the level of sustainability of their investments: • Article 9 is suitable for funds that have a sustainable investment objective (with a strong ESG focus); • Article 8 is suitable for funds which promote, amongst other characteristics, environmental or social characteristics (with some degree of ESG focus); • Article 6 is suitable for those products which do not fall into either Article 8 or 9 (with no ESG focus). After careful consideration and analysis of each of the available categories, Green Arrow Capital is pleased to inform our investors that Green Arrow Infrastructure of the Future Fund S.C.A. SICAV-RAIF has been classified as ‘Article 9’ under the new Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which means the fund has a strong ESG focus. The fund’s documentation has been amended accordingly to reflect this change with an effect from March 10th, 2021 SDG GOALS WE TAKE TO HEART GOOD HEALTH Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
