1. Purpose and Scope
Pursuant to the European Directive 2004/39/EC of April 21, 2004 on markets in financial instruments ("MiFID": transposed into Luxembourg law by the Law of July 13, 2007 on markets in financial instruments as amended, and the Grand-Ducal Regulation of July 13, 2007 on organizational requirements and rules of conduct in the financial sector), we maintain an effective organizational and administrative structure with a view to taking all reasonable steps to identify, assess and manage potential conflicts of interest.
This document summarizes the policy that has been put in place and provides essential information about the measures taken to protect their interests.
2. Conflict of Interest Policy
Our conflict of interest policy is defined as follows:
- we identify circumstances that give rise or are likely to give rise to a conflict of interest with a tangible risk of harming the interests of the client ;
- we define the procedures to be followed and the measures to be taken in order to manage these conflicts of interest;
- we maintain systems designed to prevent actual harm to the client's interests in the event of a conflict of interest.
3. Identifying a conflict of interest
Under MiFID regulations, and regardless of the department of the company concerned, a conflict of interest exists when, in the context of providing a service to a client, the performance of the service benefits the company (or another client on whose behalf it acts or a person directly or indirectly linked to the company by a controlling relationship), while being likely to harm the interests of the client for whom the service is provided.
The risk of a conflict of interest exists when 2PM Europe S.A. (or a client or a person directly or indirectly linked to the company by a control relationship) :
- is likely to realize a financial gain or avoid a financial loss at the expense of the client ;
- has an interest in the outcome of the service provided to the client or the transaction carried out on behalf of the client that is different from the client's interest ;
- has an incentive, for financial or other reasons, to favour the interests of another client or group of clients over the client concerned;
- is engaged in the same professional activity as the client;
- receives or will receive from a person other than the client a benefit in connection with the service provided to the client, in the form of money, goods or services, other than the commission or fee normally charged for that service.
When a business relationship that is entered into with 2PM Europe S.A. is likely to create conflicts of interest or have an adverse influence on the risk profile of the company, it must be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Any business relationship must be entered into in the interest of the company, i.e. it must take place under competitive financial conditions, it must respect its liquidity and solvency, and it must be within acceptable risk conditions in order to ensure sound and prudent management of the company.
An exercise was carried out to identify the circumstances that give rise or are likely to give rise to a conflict of interest within 2PM Europe S.A. Similarly, the measures deemed appropriate to monitor and manage these conflicts of interest and to control their impact were taken. Potential conflicts of interest identified include
- Conflicts of interest between our clients with opposing interests;
- Conflicts of interest due to differing interests between the institution and the client with respect to a particular outcome;
- Conflicts of interest due to a divergence between the personal interests of the institution or its staff and the interests of the client.
4. Policies and Procedures
We have well-established internal policies and procedures designed to manage potential conflicts of interest. These policies and procedures, which have been designed to ensure the required level of independence, are subject to an ongoing process of evaluation and review, and include, but are not limited to, the following :
Chinese Walls:
We apply procedures that control the exchange of information between employees and/or between different departments of the company, in cases where the interests of one client could be in conflict with the interests of another client or our own, or those of a person related to us directly or indirectly by a controlling relationship (a "Related Person").
We have well-established information segregation policies and procedures designed to manage confidential information and prevent the improper transmission of confidential or price-sensitive information (often referred to as "Insider Information").
Separate control and segregation of duties :
Where appropriate, a separation of control and/or functions of our employees and/or departments carrying out activities for clients whose interests may be in conflict with the interests of another client, our own or those of a related person, has been implemented. These measures are designed to avoid the simultaneous involvement of a person concerned in separate departments or activities, when such involvement is likely to interfere with the proper management of conflicts.
Disclosure :
When there is no other alternative for managing a conflict of interest or if, in our view, the measures in place do not sufficiently protect the client's interests, then the existence of the conflict of interest will be disclosed to the client. This is so that the client is able to make an informed decision as to whether or not to continue the business relationship.
Refusal to intervene :
When we consider that we are unable, in any way whatsoever, to manage a conflict of interest, we may refuse to act for the client.
The client who wishes to do so may contact his RM to receive more detailed information on our conflict of interest policy.
The purpose of this document is to inform the clients about the policy of confidentiality of personal data in force within the framework of their relations with the Management Company.

In the event of an unsatisfactory response, the client also has the possibility of lodging a complaint with the CSSF within one year from the date on which he lodged his complaint with the Management Company. The CSSF will act in its Out-of-court Complaint Resolution (OCR) entity. More information on the operating mode of complaint is available in CSSF Regulation No. 16-07 published in the Mémorial on 11 November 2016 (No. 228; page 4240 and following).

To obtain this document, you can make a justified request by mail addressed to the registered office of the Management Company to the attention of the Authorized Management.
Purpose
The EU Regulation 2019/2088 was adopted on 27 November 2019 and entered into force on 10 March 2021. The purpose of this new regulation is to establish "harmonized rules for the players in the financial markets and the financial advisors regarding transparency concerning the integration of the risks concerning sustainability and the taking into account of adverse effects concerning sustainability in their processes as well as the provision of information concerning sustainability in relation to financial products."
This regulation defines “sustainability risk” as “an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment”.
It also defines a "sustainable investment" as "an investment in an economic activity that contributes to an environmental objective, as measured, for example, by key resource efficiency indicators on the use of energy, renewable energy, raw materials, water and land, on the production of waste, and greenhouse gas emissions, or on its impact on biodiversity and the circular economy, or an investment in an economic activity that contributes to a social objective, in particular an investment that contributes to tackling inequality or that fosters social cohesion, social integration and labour relations, or an investment in human capital or economically or socially disadvantaged communities, provided that such investments do not significantly harm any of those objectives and that the investee companies follow good governance practices, in particular with respect to sound management structures, employee relations, remuneration of staff and tax compliance".
Obligations
More specifically, financial players must disclose about the integration of sustainability risks, the taking into account of adverse sustainability effects, sustainable investment goals or, if applicable, about the promotion of environmental and/or social and governance characteristics within the investment process. They must also disclose the integration of sustainability risks into remuneration policies.
Statements
The portfolio management policies of 2PM Europe are based on common and customary risk and financial returns criteria. At this stage, sustainability criteria are not taken into account in a systematic way, given that there currently exists no complete and comprehensive data on this type of impact on investment policies. The same applies to the adverse effects of investment decisions.
These statements are subject to revision based on improvements in the analysis of these impacts and on evolving regulations in this field. As a matter of fact, 2PM Europe has always been guided by the constant concern to be in full compliance with all regulations in force and it presents itself as a responsible player in terms of sustainability.
Lastly, the remuneration policy has included the sustainability criterion in the process of evaluating personnel.
