ESG INVESTING

We believe that over time, careful consideration of responsible investment factors may improve outcomes for investors. We have adopted the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) protocols and procedures detailed in this Responsible Investment and ESG Policy (the “Policy”) for certain funds and accounts that have elected to adhere to the Policy (collectively, “Clients”).

The Policy covers research, proxy voting, and exclusion criteria, among other things. The precise manner of adoption and implementation of the Policy may vary by Client. The Policy will be reviewed on an annual basis by Aperture’s ESG Committee but is subject to revision by the ESG Committee at any time.

SUSTAINABLE PROXY VOTING

The main purpose of our proxy voting is to promote and protect the rights and interests of our investors as shareholders. In furtherance of that goal, we are subscribed to proxy voting guidelines that take into account sustainability concerns.
