Conflict of Interest Management Policy

In accordance with the provisions of Article 318-13 of the General Regulations of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, Inovalis has established a conflict of interest management policy setting out its approach to identifying, preventing and managing conflicts of interest that may arise in the course of its activities.

Prevention :

Inovalis has proactively implemented internal procedures aimed at preventing the occurrence of conflicts of interest. These procedures establish ethical principles applicable to all employees.

Identification :

Conflicts of interest may arise between:

  • Inovalis, including its directors, employees or any person directly or indirectly linked to Inovalis through a control relationship, and the AIF under management;
  • the AIF or its investors and another client of the manager;
  • two clients of Inovalis.

In order to identify such situations, the management company has developed a conflict of interest mapping document, which catalogues typical conflict of interest scenarios that could potentially be detrimental to one or more clients.

The identification of potential conflicts of interest enables Inovalis to implement preventive measures to avoid their occurrence, as well as management measures to frame them.

Management of Conflicts of Interest :

In certain complex or specific situations, where the procedures and arrangements implemented upstream are not sufficient to ensure with reasonable certainty that the potential conflict will not harm the interests of one of its clients, Inovalis implements a conflict of interest management procedure based on transparency in its dealings with clients. Where appropriate, the management company clearly informs clients, prior to acting on their behalf, of the general nature or source of the conflict of interest.

For further information, the conflict of interest management policy is available free of charge and upon simple request from Inovalis.

Complaints Handling Policy

In accordance with the provisions of Article 318-10 of the General Regulations of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, Inovalis has established a framework including a complaints handling policy.

Definition:

A complaint is a statement recording the dissatisfaction of an existing or potential client towards INOVALIS, regardless of the contact through whom it is expressed.

It may be submitted by any person with a legitimate interest, including in the absence of a contractual relationship with the firm.

It is not necessary, for a statement to be treated as a complaint, that it be accompanied by a request to exercise a right, obtain a service, remedy an error or cease a harm. A request for information, opinion, clarification, service or provision is not a complaint.

How to Submit a Complaint

Complaints may be addressed to INOVALIS:

Complaints must be submitted in French or English. The complaints handling service is free of charge.

Complaint Processing Time

INOVALIS will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within a maximum of 10 business days from the date of submission, unless a response is provided to the client within that timeframe.

A response will be sent to you within a maximum period of 2 months from the date of submission of your complaint. If additional investigation is required beyond this period, INOVALIS undertakes to inform you of the progress of your complaint upon expiry of the deadline.

Biodiversity-related risks are not assessed due to a lack of data and established methodology. The management company has analysed that in the short and medium term it is mainly the transition risks that could affect investors. If, however, the temperature rise were to be significant, the physical risks would become predominant. Transition risks related to the market or technology market or technology related transition risks are latent but could materialise very quickly.
