None of the information published or made available via this website is intended to be published or made available in any jurisdiction where to do so would result in the breach of any applicable law or regulation in that jurisdiction. This website is not directed at you if we are prohibited by any law of any jurisdiction from making the information on this website available to you.

The information published or made available via this website has been compiled from sources believed to be reliable but no warranty, expressed or implied, is given that the information is complete or accurate nor that it is fit for a particular purpose. All such warranties are expressly disclaimed and excluded. Any opinions, recommendations and forecasts provided are not necessarily the current opinions, recommendations and forecasts of the contributors and may be changed at any time.

As with all investments, our products place capital at risk. There is no guarantee that the target return will be achieved, and investors may get back less than the amount they invested. Past performance and forecast are not a reliable indicator of future performance. Any tax reliefs referred to may be subject to change and tax treatment will depend on the individual circumstances of the investor.

UK Stewardship Code

Under Rule 2.2.3R of the FCA’s Conduct of Business Sourcebook, CSLLP is required to include on its website a disclosure about the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council’s Stewardship Code (the “Code”) or, where it does not commit to the Code, its alternative investment strategy. The Code is voluntary and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors with UK equity issuers.

The Code is directed in the first instance to institutional investors by which is meant asset owners and asset managers with equity holdings in UK listed companies. Whilst CSLLP is supportive of the objectives that underlie the Code, it has chosen not to commit to the Code. CSLLP does not currently invest in UK listed companies. CSLLP acts as an investment manager which invests in non-listed real assets,

Although CSLLP seeks to align its approach with the broad aims of the Code, the provisions of the Code are primarily not relevant to the type of investment activity currently undertaken by CSLLP. Should any of those factors change, CSLLP will review its commitment to the Code at that time and make appropriate disclosure.

CSLLP Remuneration Policy Statement

The Craigmore Remuneration Policy (the “Policy”) sets out CSLLP’s policy regarding its remuneration policies and practices, as subject to certain regulatory requirements under the Directive 2011/61/EU as amended (the “AIFMD”) or equivalent legislation. The Policy describes how CSLLP’s remuneration policies and practices are consistent with the principles in the AIFMD and equivalent legislation. CSLLP aims to ensure that its remuneration policies and practices encourage sound and effective risk management and align financial incentives for staff with the risks undertaken and rewards achieved by investors in the funds managed or advised by Craigmore. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year-to-year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include fixed base compensation and variable discretionary compensation. The risk-limiting features of the Policy include (amongst other things) the application of non-financial metrics, such as an assessment of compliance with the Firm’s risk management and compliance policies. In extreme cases, a negative assessment of overall compliance by an individual with the Firm’s risk management and compliance policies may result in a reduction in the variable remuneration amount which would otherwise have been awarded to that individual. The Policy is reviewed at least annually.

Risk Management Objectives

The Firm is governed by its partners who determine its business strategy and risk appetite. The Partners are also responsible for establishing and maintaining the Firm’s governance arrangements along with designing and implementing a risk management framework that recognises the risks that the business faces.

The partners also determine how the risks the business faces may be mitigated and assess, on an ongoing basis, the arrangements put in place to manage those risks. They meet on a regular basis and discuss current projections for profitability, cash flow, regulatory capital management, business planning and risk management. They manage the Firm’s risks having regard to relevant laws, standards, principles and rules (including principles and regulations set by the FCA) with the aim to operate a defined and transparent risk management framework. These policies and procedures are updated as required.

The partners of the Firm place a high priority on a strong risk management culture. The partners recognise that risk is inherent to their business and the market in which they operate. The Firm has a low risk appetite in respect of the risks highlighted above and this is reflected in its governance and controls. There is an experienced management team of proven ability to ensure that the business remains tightly controlled within the standards that the Firm aspires to.

The partners have identified that investment, credit, market and operational risks are the main areas of risk to which the Firm is exposed. Periodically the senior management of the Firm formally review risks, controls and other risk mitigation arrangements and assess their effectiveness. Where the Firm’s senior management identify material risks they consider the financial impact of these risks as part of its business planning and capital management and conclude whether the amount of regulatory capital held is adequate.
