The Board of Directors of Evli Fund Management Company Ltd (“Evli”) has decided to amend the rules of the UCITS funds and non-UCITS funds managed by Evli. The amendments will enter into force on November 1, 2022. The rule amendments concern both common rules for mutual funds and fund-specific rules.
The main rule amendments affecting Evli funds are as follows:
- Information has been added to the rules of the UCITS and non-UCITS funds if, in addition to the fund’s other characteristics, the fund promotes environmental and social characteristics in accordance with Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (2019/2088, the SFDR) or its objective is to make sustainable investments in accordance with Article 9.
- The rules of the UCITS funds and non-UCITS funds will be specified regarding the conditions for suspending subscriptions and redemptions.
- The rules of the UCITS funds and non-UCITS funds will be specified regarding the permitted underlying assets of derivatives.
- The order execution date in accordance with the rules of the Evli Equity Factor Global Fund will be amended. After the amendment, orders will be executed at the net asset value of a fund unit confirmed on the banking day following the date of the order.
- The rules of the Evli Nordic Corporate Bond Fund will be amended with respect to derivatives and currency risk hedging to correspond with those of other fixed income funds managed by Evli.
In addition to the above-mentioned amendments, minor technical changes, such as to the wording, have been made in the rules.
The Financial Supervisory Authority confirmed the amendments to the fund rules on March 25, 2022. The amended fund rules will enter into force on November 1, 2022, and will apply to all unit holders. If a unit holder does not approve of the rule amendments, the fund units can be redeemed or switched to another Evli mutual fund.
