Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria

Regulatory context

Article 173 of the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act no. 2015-992 of 17 August 2015 amends article L. 533-22-1 of the Monetary and Financial Code, which now states that: "Portfolio management companies shall make available to subscribers of each of the UCIs they manage information on how their investment policy takes account of criteria relating to compliance with social, environmental and governance quality objectives. They shall specify the nature of these criteria and the way in which they are applied, in accordance with a standard presentation laid down by decree. They shall indicate how they exercise the voting rights attached to the financial instruments resulting from these choices".

In accordance with article 173, investors are informed that HORIZON ASSET MANAGEMENT includes environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in its investment strategies.

    1. GENERAL APPROACH TO TAKING ESG CRITERIA INTO ACCOUNT
      In its management approach, HORIZON ASSET MANAGEMENT takes care to integrate socially responsible thinking into its investment analyses in response to the challenges of the property sector. Taking into account environmental, social and governance criteria leads to a better evaluation of investments in terms of usefulness and sustainability. HORIZON ASSET MANAGEMENT integrates the aforementioned criteria into its investment analysis and decision-making processes. We encourage real estate projects that respect the environment and where natural and renewable resources are used in the construction process. We pay particular attention to social criteria when selecting investments.

Managing conflicts of interest

In the course of its activities, HORIZON AM may be faced with conflicts of interest that could potentially harm the interests of its clients. In accordance with the applicable regulations, the Management Company has taken all reasonable measures to prevent conflicts of interest, and has set up a system to manage proven conflicts of interest, where applicable..

HORIZON AM's Conflicts of Interest Management Policy is available on request from the Management Company.

Investment allocation

Where several investment vehicles set up or managed by Horizon Asset Management each have an interest in investing in the same investment opportunity, Horizon Asset Management will encourage co-investment between the vehicles concerned whenever this method can be implemented in practice for the project in question and is not excluded by the reference documentation of the investment vehicles concerned.

Where a project to invest in a real estate asset or a portfolio of real estate assets is carried out directly or indirectly by means of co-investment between several vehicles under management, their respective share of investment in this project will be determined in accordance with Horizon Asset Management's procedure for managing conflicts of interest on the basis of :

 the investment capacity of investment vehicles,

 tax, legal, regulatory and contractual constraints on investment vehicles,

 constraints on risk-splitting ratios and the influence of investment vehicles,

 the status of the investment vehicles concerned and the regulations to which they are subject,

 and the length of the investment period for investment vehicles,

 All the criteria used to analyse these situations will be documented and kept by Horizon Asset Management..

In the case of a co-investment, the transaction will be carried out on the same terms for all the vehicles participating in the transaction. The transaction will be carried out on a pari passu basis on similar terms depending on the nature of the investments or the securities that do or do not make up the capital (shares, bonds, warrants, convertible bonds, current account advances, etc.).

However, in certain situations, Horizon Asset Management may give priority to certain FIAs. To date, the following situations have been identified: the creation of a thematic FIA (whose investment target corresponds precisely to this theme), the need to close an investment period within a short timeframe, or a subscription in a company that has already acquired some of the FIA's assets.

Lastly, with regard to opportunities that may be offered directly to FIA investors or third parties, Horizon Asset Management ensures that its own collective investment vehicles/FIAs are given priority for investment, and that the presence of another investor in the round table is likely to promote the success of the transaction.
