Under Sustainable Investing—Fossil Fuel Policy for each of Impax Large Cap Fund, Impax Small Cap Fund, Impax US Sustainable Economy Fund, Impax Global Opportunities Fund, Impax Global Environmental Markets Fund, Impax Global Women’s Leadership Fund, Impax International Sustainable Economy Fund, Impax Core Bond Fund, Impax High Yield Bond Fund and Impax Sustainable Allocation Fund, the section is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

Impax is a specialist asset manager investing in the opportunities arising from the transition to a more sustainable economy. Across the Impax Funds, we aim to build more resilient portfolios by managing risks, including climate-related risks. Such risks include material risks to companies with fossil fuel-related assets and activities, in the form of government intervention to regulate greenhouse gases, changes in consumer preferences, technological developments and other liabilities, like stranded asset risks, in addition to reputational and litigation risks.

 

To mitigate or eliminate such risks, all Impax Funds have adopted a fossil fuel policy as described below.

 

For the Impax Funds (other than Impax Core Bond Fund and Impax High Yield Bond Fund):

 

Categories of fossil fuel companies under this policy include companies that Impax determines are:

 

1.Deriving any revenues from fossil fuel exploration and production1; or

 

2.Deriving > 5% of revenues from fossil fuel refining, processing, storage, transportation and distribution, as well as utility power generation2.

 

We will not invest in companies in the first category above as we believe they face significant climate transition risks. Nor will we invest in companies in the second category above, unless we have determined that they have credible plans for climate risk mitigation aligned with the transition to net zero.

 

For Impax Core Bond Fund and Impax High Yield Bond Fund:3

 

The Funds will not invest in the following categories of companies as the Adviser believes these activities face the most significant climate transition risks:

 

1.Companies deriving > 1% of revenues from thermal coal mining;4

 

2.Oil sands producers (extraction and processing); and

 

 

 

 

1Whether coal mining, or conventional oil and gas, or non-conventional sources, such as shale gas.

2The Impax Funds’ Fossil Fuel Policy does not apply to:

a.Companies with indirect exposure to fossil fuels, such as those in the automotives, transportation, industrials and financials sectors.

b.For example, emerging market utility, storage or distribution companies, as these companies are providing transitional air quality solutions, e.g., replacing coal in regions where coal represents a high proportion of the energy mix in the grid system.

3This policy does not apply to issuers with indirect exposure to fossil fuels, such as those in the automotive, transportation, industrials and financials sectors.
4This exclusion applies to coal mining companies, not utilities that use coal for power generation.

 

 

 

 

3.Arctic exploration and production companies.

 

The Funds may invest in companies if the Adviser determines that they do not fall within one or more of the excluded categories and have demonstrated strong environmental management systems or initiatives, are transparent about their emissions records and have policies and procedures aligned with the transition to a more sustainable economy, including:

 

1.Issuers of green labeled bonds5 or that are sustainability-linked, including transition bonds;

 

2.Issuers deriving revenue from fossil fuel exploration and production;

 

3.Issuers deriving > 5% of revenues from fossil fuel refining, processing, storage, transportation, distribution and utility power generation.6

 

In addition to this policy, the Adviser intends to limit the aggregate exposure to fossil fuel issuers at or below the energy sector weight in the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield-Cash Pay-BB-B (Constrained 2%) Index and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index for Impax High Yield Bond Fund and Impax Core Bond Fund, respectively.

6This category also covers all utility issuers with fossil fuel exposure, including both vertically integrated utilities with generation assets and transmission and distribution-only companies with fossil fuel revenue exposure.
