Recent Updates on Prospectuses for SKAGEN and Storebrand Funds
On a noteworthy occasion, the prospectuses for both SKAGEN and Storebrand funds have undergone important updates. This initiative aligns the document structures, thereby enhancing readability and consistency across their offerings. While the essence of the documents remains unchanged, the streamlined format promises better clarity and easier navigation for investors.
New Structure of the Prospectuses
The revised prospectuses now boast a uniform structure, comprising several key pages that serve distinct purposes. Initially, the first two pages are dedicated to specific fund information. This includes essential details such as the investment objectives, relevant benchmarks, and data regarding various share classes.
Common General Information
The following six pages delve into general information applicable to all funds, ensuring that investors are well-informed about their rights and obligations. This section provides critical insights into subscription and redemption processes, outlines custodian roles, gives an overview of applicable tax rules, and details management practices along with the Board's structure.
Articles of Association and SFDR Disclosure
After the core content, which takes precedent in the prospectus, there is a variable number of additional pages that outline each fund’s articles of association. The documents conclude with the necessary SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) disclosures, which are split into annex II for Article 8 funds and annex III for Article 9 funds. This format ensures that prospective investors have clarity on the sustainability aspects of their potential investments.
