Prevention and management of conflicts of interest

In accordance with the applicable regulations, Emblem has put in place organisational measures and administrative procedures to detect and manage conflicts of interest that may arise in the course of its activities.
The prevention and management of conflicts of interest within the Management Company are in line with the general principles laid down by the AIFM Directive and its Delegated Regulation, which notably mention the following obligations:
- Establishing a policy for the management of conflicts of interest;
- Detecting potential situations of conflict of interest;

ESG
The ESG Charter as well as the legal and regulatory information are available on request from Emblem.
Sustainable Risk Finance Disclosure Regulation (2019/2088) (The « Disclosure Regulation »)
Emblem makes the following disclosures in accordance with Articles 3(1), 4(1)(b) and 5(1) of the Disclosure Regulation.
1- Approach to sustainability risk
Sustainability risk refers to environmental, social or corporate governance (“ESG”) event or condition
that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of an
investment of the Fund (the “Sustainability Risks”).
The Management Company’s investment team takes ESG criteria into account in investment
decisions, but not in a preponderant manner (Article 6 of the SFDR Regulation).
2- Consideration of sustainability adverse impacts
Although ESG and sustainability risk is important to Emblem and we take it seriously, we do not consider adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors within the meaning of Article 4 of SFDR as we considers that the data currently available does not ensure that the negative impacts on sustainability factors are fully taken into account.
Given that the fund primarily invests in very early-stage companies, relevant data is not yet accessible due to the limited historical information and lack of efficient tools. EMBLEM intends to strive to consider the adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors in the future, where it deems it feasible to do so.
The Management Company has however implemented a series of exclusion-based policies to manage the most severe sustainability risks. Such exclusion policies result in the Management Company limiting investment into prohibited sectors, companies and underlying assets.
This is our current position, which we will keep under review.
