White Paper: Integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Policies and Practices into Investment Portfolios

The potential for significant negative impacts on an investment portfolio from our changing climate, the dramatic loss of biodiversity in recent years, our emptying oceans, has been well documented but has not yet led private sector investors to act urgently to contain these risks. ADM Capital sees an opportunity to play a leadership role in facilitating portfolio companies to build resilience whilst helping transition to a more sustainable economy.

Being signatories to the United Nations’ Principles of Responsible Investing (UN PRI) since 2008, sustainability is interwoven into various lines of business of the ADM Capital Group – whether they be the conventional investments investing responsibly by following robust ESG guidelines (Galleus, ASLF Funds), or those actively placing sustainability at their core (Cibus Fund, TLFF). A common thread is the knowledge base provided by the ADM Capital Foundation, which has been working on environmental solutions across Asia since 2006.

Our consistent approach has gradually worked to convince our portfolio companies of the tangible and intangible benefits of thorough ESG analysis, including improved business resilience, access to a wider pool of funds, and general recognition as leaders. We believe that looking forward, ESG factors will drive investment outcomes like never before, and will soon become a part of mainstream investing. Investors will increasingly view ESG considerations as “necessary” while portfolio companies will realise and seek to optimise the impact that ESG factors can have on the future of their businesses.

General Fund Risk Disclosure

The funds described in this website (each, a “fund”) are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, including mutual fund requirements to provide certain periodic and standardised pricing and valuation information to investors. There are substantial risks in investing in a fund. Persons interested in investing in a fund should carefully note the following:

A fund represents a speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial portion of his/her investment. Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication/experience and willingness to bear the risks of an investment in a fund.
An investment in a fund should be discretionary capital set aside strictly for speculative purposes.
An investment in a fund is not suitable or desirable for all investors. Only certain persons meeting certain additional eligibility criteria may invest in a fund.
A fund may employ leverage and other investment techniques, and such leverage and other investment techniques may result in increased volatility of the fund’s performance and increased risk of loss.
A fund may trade in commodities, futures and other derivatives, which may increase the risk of loss of the fund. Fund investments are illiquid and there are generally significant restrictions on transferring interests in a fund. There will likely be no secondary market for the interests of a fund.
A fund may have limited or no operating history.

The investment manager of a fund may have certain discretionary authority over the fund’s assets.
A fund may invest in a limited number of securities or instruments, which could result in a limited degree of diversification and higher risk.
A fund generally involves a complex tax structure, which should be reviewed carefully. A fund’s investment strategy may cause delays in important tax information being sent to investors.
The management fees of a fund’s investment manager may be substantial regardless of whether the fund has a positive return, and will offset the fund’s profits.
A fund is not required by regulators to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors.
There are likely to be a number of conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest in connection with an investment manager’s management of fund assets.

The above summary is not a complete list of the risks and other important disclosures involved in investing in funds. Before making any investment in a fund, investors are advised to thoroughly and carefully review offering documentation with their financial, legal and tax advisors to determine whether an investment is suitable.
