To adhere to regulations and uphold public confidence in the financial market and Emerald Managements Luxembourg S.à.r.l, the AIFM has instituted, implemented, and enforced an internal policy aimed at preventing, identifying, managing, and monitoring conflicts of interest. This internal policy undergoes assessment and re-approval by the board of directors at least once annually.
The AIFM keeps a description of the potential conflicts of interest that may arise, and is open to be requested by investors to the firm at info@emeraldaifm.com.
"Ensuring financial integrity is a core principle of Emerald Managements Luxembourg S.à r.l to prevent the misuse of the financial system. In accordance with Luxembourg's regulatory requirements, specifically referencing Circular CSSF 12/552 and other applicable laws, the AIFM has established, implemented, and applied a comprehensive internal Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) policy. This policy is meticulously designed to detect and deter activities related to money laundering and the financing of terrorism within the organization.
The AML/CFT policy includes robust procedures and measures to verify the identity of clients, assess and monitor transactions, and report any suspicious activities to the relevant authorities. Regular training and updates on AML/CFT regulations, including those outlined in Luxembourg's legal framework, are provided to employees to ensure a strong and vigilant approach in maintaining financial integrity.
The effectiveness of this policy is regularly assessed, and necessary adjustments are made to align with evolving regulatory requirements and emerging risks in the financial landscape, ensuring continued compliance with Luxembourg's legal standards for anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism."
Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector, as amended (the “SFDR”) intends to provide harmonised disclosure requirements for investment products. The SFDR lays down harmonised rules for ‘financial market participants’ on transparency with regard to the integration of Sustainability Risks.
Emerald Managements Luxembourg S.à.r.l (the AIFM)AIFM considers sustainability as a critical driver of business of the Company and the Sub- funds and has been working towards greater transparency and accountability on environmental, governance and social matters. The AIFM recognises that those companies that are capable of generating a more inclusive and sustainable economic growth to their stakeholders are the ones that tend to produce more value in the long term.
Hence, the AIFM believes that the integration of Sustainability Risks into the investment decision-making process may help to enhance long term risk-adjusted returns for investors, in accordance with the investment objectives and policies of the Sub-funds. The AIFM identifies and integrates Sustainability Risks as part of its investment management process and as part of its risk management process. The AIFM integrates the Sustainability Risks assessment together with other material factors in the context of the specific investment opportunities and positions and of the investment objective and policy of the Company (and the Sub-funds) in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 (1) §1 of SFDR. Unless otherwise provided for a specific Sub-Fund in the relevant Sub-Fund Appendix, the Sub-Funds do not promote environmental or social characteristics, nor do they have sustainable investment as investment objectives within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of SFDR, respectively.
The integration of Sustainability Risks in the investment decisions of the AIFM is a multi-step processfrom pre-investment to post-investment, monitoring and exit. The process starts with the identificationof Sustainability Risk indicators and factors considered to be material to a given investment, in thecontext of the relevant investment objective. The AIFM includes in its decision-making process theconsideration that a prospective investment has a sustainable competitive advantage for the relevantSub-Fund. The AIFM ensures that the operational counterparties are fully aware of and commit tocomply with the investment philosophy, approach and expectations of the Company (and the Sub-Funds) and the AIFM in respect of sustainability. Once selected and appointed, the AIFM monitors therelevant Sustainability Risks for each investment. The AIFM will regularly monitor the investmentuniverse and implement necessary measures to ensure that Sustainability Risks are sufficientlyconsidered. Where the AIFM deems that an existing investment in the portfolio of the Company (andthe Sub-Funds) or an investment opportunity reaches a certain level of exposure in relation toSustainability Risks as defined by the AIFM from time to time that impact or are likely to impact thefinancial returns of the Company (and the Sub- Funds), the AIFM will take the appropriate measuresup to the divestment or rejection of an investment opportunity. Nonetheless, the AIFM does not useESG factors as decisive or reductive factors but only as additional factors in its decision-makingprocess.
The AIFM requires the Investment Adviser(s) to consider and assess Sustainability Risks for each investment opportunity they introduce to the AIFM.
For further information on the integration of Sustainability Risks in respect of the Company and the Sub-Funds please refer to the website of the AIFM.
As at the date of this Issuing Document, the AIFM does not intend to consider principal adverse impactsof investment decisions related to the Company and the Sub-Funds on Sustainability Factors as thesize of investments and structure of the Company do not seem to be of sufficient relevance on thesefactors and there is no sufficient data available for measuring these principal adverse impacts withinthe meaning of Article 7 (1) of SFDR.
Emerald Managements Luxembourg S.à.r.l (the AIFM) has formulated and implemented a remuneration policy to ensure a robust and prudent remuneration process. This process is designed to uphold the AIFM's duty to act in the best interest of its clients, identify and manage conflicts of interest, promote effective risk management, and deter risk-taking inconsistent with the risk profile of the AIFM or the risk profiles and constitutional documents of the alternative investment funds (AIFs) under management.
The remuneration policy specifies that the balance between the fixed and variable components of remuneration must be reasonable and not encourage excessive risk-taking. This balance is carefully considered to avoid incentivizing behavior that could jeopardize the AIFM's commitments.
Sustainability risks, covering the areas of environment, social affairs, and corporate governance, are explicitly incorporated into the AIFM's remuneration policy. Employees subject to the Remuneration Policy will be evaluated on their adherence to the Sustainability Risk Policy, particularly when relevant to their roles. This approach ensures alignment with sustainable practices and responsible conduct within the organization.

The internal rate of return (IRR) is a metric used in financial analysis to estimate the profitability of potential investments. IRR is a discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows equal to zero in a discounted cash flow analysis.
IRR calculations rely on the same formula as NPV does. Keep in mind that IRR is not the actual dollar value of the project. It is the annual return that makes the NPV equal to zero.
This term is relevant to open-ended funds where the fund establishes a mechanism that allows the investor to redeem participation units. It is generally acceptable that, after the Lock-Up Period defined in the fund’s policy, the investor may redeem his investments at the end of each quarter, with the number of days stated in the specific OM of each such fund as prior notice days prior notice. Where many investors seek to withdraw their investments, some funds may defer the redemption if the total redemption requests exceed a certain percentage of the asset value. In such a case, the fund may decide to suspend the redemptions for a fixed period of time, a partial repayment which will be divided pro rata among the applicants or a spread of the redemption for a certain period of time.
