Summary of Investor Rights for UCITS Fund
 

Introduction
This is a summary of rights afforded to you as a Shareholder whose name appears on the share register of the Fund. Should you require any further information relating to the terms of your investment, please refer to the prospectus, the constitutive document of the Fund and share application form.

Entitlement to receive certain information relating to your investment in the Fund
As a Shareholder in the Fund, information on where a copy of the latest annual and, where applicable, semi-annual financial statements of the Fund will be made available to you by contacting gk-sales@gavekal.com and a copy of such reports shall be provided to you on request and free of charge.
The latest Net Asset Value per Share of your investment will be made available to you by contacting gk-sales@gavekal.com.
The current prospectus of the Fund can be made available to you by contacting gk-sales@gavekal.com and a paper copy of which will be delivered to you on request and free of charge.

Entitlement to redeem your interest in the Fund
Shareholders in the Fund are entitled to redeem their shareholding and receive the redemption proceeds relating to such Shares within the timeframe and subject to such conditions as detailed in the Fund’s prospectus.

Voting rights and related matters
Save to the extent that a Shareholder has chosen to invest in Shares which do not carry voting rights, a Shareholder has the right to vote (whether in general meeting or, where so permitted under the Fund’s constitutive document, by way of a written resolution) on shareholder resolutions relating to the Fund, relevant Sub-Fund or Class in accordance with the conditions set down in the Fund’s prospectus.
Under applicable legislation, a Shareholder holding not less than 10% of the voting rights in the Fund (or relevant SubFund or Class as applicable) may request the directors of the Fund to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Fund (or relevant Sub-Fund or Class as applicable) in accordance with the provisions of the relevant legislation.
Under applicable legislation, a Shareholder present at a general meeting in person or by proxy representing not less than 10% of the voting rights in the Fund (or relevant Sub-Fund or Class as applicable) may demand that a resolution be determined by a poll instead of on a show of hands.

Entitlement to make a complaint
As a Shareholder in the Fund, you are entitled to make a complaint free of charge. Any such complaint must be handled by the management company promptly and effectively. You also have the right to refer the relevant complaint to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman after following the Fund’s complaints process if you are still not satisfied with the response received. Further information on the complaints policy relating to the Fund is available from gk-sales@gavekal.com.

Investor rights against the Fund and service providers of the Fund
As a Shareholder in the Fund, you have a right of action against the Fund for any breach of contract. Shareholders in the Fund do not have any direct contractual rights against any service provider appointed in respect of the Fund because of the absence of a direct contractual relationship between the Shareholder and the relevant service provider. Instead, the proper plaintiff in an action in respect of which a wrongdoing is alleged to have been committed against the Fund or its management company by the relevant service provider is typically the Fund or its management company as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Shareholder has a regulatory right of action to purse the Depositary appointed by the Fund in respect (i) any loss of an asset held in the custody of the Depositary or any delegate of the Depositary or (ii) of any other losses caused by the Depositary’s negligent or intentional failure to properly fulfil its obligations under applicable regulations.

Representative actions under Irish law
A collective redress mechanism by consumers in respect of infringements of applicable Irish or EU laws is available under the Representative Actions for the Protection of the Collective Interests of Consumers Act 2023 which transposes Directive (EU) 2020/1828 into Irish law.
Further information on this collective redress mechanism is available from Representative Actions Act - DETE (enterprise.gov.ie).

General
It should be noted that this summary addresses rights conferred on Shareholders under the applicable legislation governing the operation of the Fund in which you are invested. You may also be afforded rights under other legislation or regulatory frameworks which are not addressed above, including for example, your rights as a data subject under Regulation 2016/679.
