ESG Policy
AgilaCapital does not systematically promote environmental or social characteristics and does not aim for sustainable investment, in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR). However, in accordance with its risk management policy for managed funds and its internal procedures, AgilaCapital integrates sustainability risks (i.e., an environmental, social, or governance (ESG) event or situation that, if it occurs, could have a significant negative impact on the value of an investment) into its investment selection and management processes. This ESG risk management approach focuses exclusively on identifying significant financial risks and does not constitute a promotion of environmental or social characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of the SFDR. This approach is consistent with the company's fund strategy, which acts as a minority shareholder, and aims to generate high returns while proactively managing risks. In this context, AgilaCapital is committed to respecting the standards established by the International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and also commits not to invest in sectors excluded by the Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), such as:
- Controversial weapons: nuclear, biological, chemical weapons, anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions,
- Fossil fuels: coal, oil, tar sands, Arctic drilling,
- Tobacco: production and distribution,
- Adult entertainment: pornography and associated services,
- Alcohol: particularly when linked to irresponsible marketing or social harm,
- Deforestation-related products,
- Human rights violations: companies operating in conflict zones or with poor labor practices,
- Severe environmental damage: repeated violations of environmental laws or major pollution events,
- Corruption and bribery: companies with a history of governance failures. However, the Management Company reserves the right to reconsider the opportunity to integrate sustainability risks into a Fund's investment decisions as soon as the invested company is engaged in a sustainable approach, and in agreement with potential investors.
Shareholder Engagement Policy and Voting Rights

AgilaCapital is required to describe and make accessible to its investors its long-term commitment to the issuers of shares in which it invests its funds. The policy implemented by AgilaCapital describes how its shareholder role is integrated into its investment strategy. It fully incorporates the voting policy and describes the additional measures put in place by AgilaCapital to strengthen the dialogue with its issuers. The AgilaCapital Shareholder Engagement Policy is available upon request from the holders of FIA shares it manages.
Remuneration Policy
