The Fund may be subject to the risks associated with (1) companies that provide products and services that are circular in nature and/or directly contribute to an improvement in the state of the natural environment (for example, companies involved in recycling activities may be negatively impacted by weakened demand for their services as a result of waning government support for circular initiatives in the future, or, conversely, may be negatively impacted by increased competition as circular economy initiatives gain traction) and/or (2) companies that provide product and services that support (i.e., enable) other companies (i.e., industry practitioners) to enhance circularity within their own business models (for example, such enabling company might be exposed to the risks of weakening demand from companies from the companies/industries that they provide enabling services to due to idiosyncratic risks and economic challenges facing those particular companies/industries.

Some companies may be smaller and less experienced companies, with limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and fewer experienced management or marketing personnel. They may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to their operating performance.

The Index is typically comprised of a mix of micro, small, mid, and large capitalisation companies. Micro and small capitalisation companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies and may underperform other segments of the market or the equity market as a whole. Securities of micro and small capitalisation companies generally trade in lower volumes, are less liquid, and are often more vulnerable to market volatility and greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalisation stocks or the stock market as a whole.

Other: (1) Third party service providers (such as the ICAV’s depositary) may go bankrupt and fail to pay money due to the Fund or return property belonging to the Fund. (2) If the Index provider stops calculating the Index or if the Fund’s license to replicate the Index is terminated, the Fund may have to be closed. (3) It may not always be possible to buy and sell the Fund’s Shares on a stock exchange or at prices closely reflecting the Net Asset Value. (4) There is no capital guarantee or protection on the value of the Fund and investors can lose all the capital invested in the Fund.
