The Firm is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the

clients, including unauthorised commingled investment vehicles, intended for institutional and
other sophisticated investors, as well as delegated mandates for certain sub-funds within
Irish domiciled ICAVs authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland as Qualifying Investor
Alternative Investment Funds (collectively “the funds” or “the clients”).
The funds managed by the Firm can be grouped as follows:
• Energy Dynamics Funds – equity long/short funds investing in core energy sectors
(oil and gas,
renewables, utilities, infrastructure and commodity futures) and energy
linked sectors (capital goods, transport, technology, autos and mining).
• Clean Energy Funds – equity long only funds investing in clean generation
equipment, new energy technologies, renewables operators, electricals,
infrastructure and power generators that have demonstrated a path to sustainability.
Each fund and sub-fund managed by the Firm contains a number of different share classes,
which differ as to matters such as reporting currency, minimum investment, redemption
terms, treatment of income and fees.
The funds have entered, and the Firm may in the future enter, into agreements with certain
significant or strategic investors in the applicable fund, whereby such investors may be
subject to terms and conditions that are different from, or more advantageous than, those
set forth in such fund’s offering documents.
