Opportunity Partners B.V. | SFDR website disclosures
In order to comply with the sustainable finance disclosure regulation (SFDR)1, Opportunity Partners B.V. (Opportunity Partners) makes the following disclosures.
Integration of sustainability risks
A sustainability risk means “an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or potential material negative impact on the value of the investment”.
Article 3(1) SFDR requires financial market participants to publish their policies on the integration of sustainability risks in their investment decision-making process.
Opportunity Partners does not integrate sustainability risks in its investment decision-making process. This is because Opportunity Partner’s investment strategy and the nature of the assets under management are such that Opportunity Partners has determined that sustainability risks are not currently material to its investment process. Given the size and nature of Opportunity Partner’s activities, the implementation of a formal sustainability risk integration framework is not considered proportionate at this stage.
Opportunity Partners will reassess this position on a periodic basis and will update this statement if and when sustainability risks are integrated into the investment decision-making process.
Article 5(1) SFDR requires financial market participants to include information in their remuneration policies on how those policies are consistent with the integration of sustainability risks.
Opportunity Partners does not have a remuneration policy. As a result, no remuneration policy incorporating sustainability risk considerations has been adopted, and sustainability risk integration does not constitute a criterion for the variable compensation of any employees or relevant persons.
No consideration of sustainability adverse impacts
In accordance with article 4 sub 1 (b) of the SFDR, Opportunity Partners states that it does not consider adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors as set forth in article 4 sub 1 (a) of the Disclosure Regulation and therefore does not make the disclosures as described in article 4 sub 1 (a) of the SFDR.
At this stage Opportunity Partners does not consider the adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors, (i) because Opportunity Partners could not reasonably gather and/or measure all the relevant data of the portfolio companies of Opportunity Partners, taking into account reasonable cost for clients and investors and (ii) due to the small size of the organisation of Opportunity Partners, such disclosure as set forth in article 4 sub 1 (a) of the SFDR and the administrative burden in connection therewith would not be proportional.
Opportunity Partners continues to closely monitor the market developments (including the level of availability of the data) as well as the regulatory developments. Opportunity Partners will at least on an annual basis review whether and when to comply with article 4 sub 1 (a) of the SFDR.
