Risk Warning: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, prices of investments and the returns from them may fall as well as rise. Investments in equities are subject to market risk. Changes in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the value price or income of the product. The MontLake Q. Brands Premiere Palm-Tree Alpha Equity UCITS Fund (the “Fund”) may use higher leverage and financial derivative instruments as part of the investment process. The content of this website does not constitute an offer or solicitation. Any investment in the Fund should be based on the full details contained in the Fund’s Supplement Prospectus and Key Investor Information Document which together with the MontLake UCITS Platform ICAV Prospectus may be downloaded from the MontLake website (www.montlakeucits.com). Information given in this website has been obtained from, or based upon, sources believed by us to be reliable and accurate although neither Waystone Fund Management (IE) Limited nor Quay Partners Investments accepts liability for the accuracy of the contents. Quay Partners Investments is authorised and regulated by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority. Funds regulated under UCITS must abide by certain investment restrictions. Waystone Fund Management (IE) Limited does not offer investment advice or make recommendations regarding investments. The Manager of the Fund is Waystone Fund Management (IE) Limited, a company regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. The MontLake UCITS Platform ICAV is registered and regulated as an open-ended Irish collective asset-management vehicle with segregated liability between sub-Funds formed in Ireland under the Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicles Act 2015 and authorised by the Central Bank as a UCITS pursuant to the UCITS Regulations. This notice shall not be construed as an offer of sale in the Fund. The state of origin of the Fund is the Republic of Ireland.

The investments underlying the Sub-Fund do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. The classification of the Sub-Fund as an Article 6 Fund means that the Sub-Fund does not promote environmental or social characteristics in a way that meets the specific criteria contained in Article 8 of SFDR or have sustainable investment as its objective in a way that meets the specific criteria contained in Article 9 of SFDR. Accordingly, the Sub-Fund does not deem Sustainability Risks to be relevant and does not integrate Sustainability Risks into its investment decisions due to the investment strategy of the Sub-Fund. Notwithstanding this classification, the Investment Manager still considers that the Sub-Fund is managed responsibly. The Investment Manager evaluates and integrates certain ESG factors at multiple stages throughout the investment process. This is considered as an important element in contributing towards long-term investment returns and an effective risk-mitigation technique and the Investment Manager does not expect that Sustainability Risks will materially impact the expected risk or return characteristics of the Sub-Fund. The Investment Manager believes its ESG-related research capabilities can help enhance portfolio relative performance, particularly in reducing exposure to countries, industries, and securities with material negative ESG risks. Please refer to the section of the Prospectus entitled “Sustainable Finance Disclosure” for further information.

Q. Brands and its connected persons may hold investments in the Fund. Further information on Q. Brands’ approach to handling material interests and conflicts of interest is contained in the Prospectus of the Fund.
