(the "Fund")

 

Dear Shareholder,

We are writing to you as a Shareholder in the Fund to inform you of a change
to the investment policy of the Fund to incorporate ESG criteria and that the
Fund will promote environmental and social characteristics and will be
categorised as an Article 8 fund under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure
Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (SFDR).

Investment policy change

As part of the Sub-Investment Manager's assessment of CLO managers, the
Sub-Investment Manager will use its proprietary ESG rating framework to rate
CLO managers. Under the framework, the CLO managers are assigned an ESG score
based on the Sub-Investment Managers assessment of the CLO managers'
consideration of environmental and social issues. The CLO managers will be
assigned a score from 1 - 5 with 1 demonstrating high levels of ESG
consideration and 5 demonstrating low levels of ESG consideration. Only CLO
Debt Securities managed by CLO managers scoring less than or equal to 4 will
be deemed eligible for investment consideration.

Article 8 categorisation

The change to the investment policy will allow the Fund to promote the
following environmental and social characteristics: reducing the use of
non-renewable energy resources, respecting the protection of internationally
proclaimed human rights, and limiting the emission of greenhouse gases over
time.

The changes will not impact the Fund's risk profile and the Fund's investment
objective. The change will take effect on or around 30 September 2025 (the
"Effective Date") after receiving approval from the regulator.

The Supplement for the Fund will be updated to reflect the changes in due
course. Should you wish to redeem your shareholding as a result of this
change, you may do so in accordance with the dealing provisions outlined in
the Prospectus.
