Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Characteristics – In connection with our equity strategies, clients may impose mutually agreed upon reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities or industry sectors, which may include considering specific ESG, impact or sustainability characteristics of a company in selecting equity securities. In these instances, Confluence management will consider ESG characteristics as part of the investment process, which may include consideration of third-party research as well as consideration of internal research across the ESG risks and opportunities regarding an issuer. Confluence will consider those ESG characteristics it deems relevant or additive when making investment decisions for a client that has imposed ESG restrictions. The ESG characteristics utilized in Confluence’s investment process are anticipated to evolve over time and one or more characteristics may not be relevant with respect to all issuers that are eligible for investment. ESG characteristics are not the sole considerations when making investment decisions. Further, investors can differ in their views of what constitutes positive or negative ESG characteristics. As a result, investments may be made in issuers that do not reflect the beliefs and values with respect to ESG of any particular investor. ESG considerations may affect exposure to certain companies or industries and a client imposing ESG restrictions may forego certain investment opportunities.

The ratings do not take into consideration any risk associated with fluctuations in the market value of the bonds, or where factors other than the issuer's credit quality determine the level of principal and coupon payments.

Issuer Risk. Bonds are subject to both the actual and perceived measures of credit worthiness of the issuer. There is no assurance of protection against a default by the issuer in respect of payment or repayment obligations. You might not be able to recover the principal and any coupon if the issuer defaults on bond. Different bonds represent and comprise different obligations on the part of the issuer, for example the obligations may be direct, unsubordinated, subordinated, unsecured or secured obligations of the relevant issuer. Holders of a certain type or class of bonds may bear higher risks than holders of other types of bonds or securities if their bond has a lower priority of claim in the event of the issuer’s default or insolvency or liquidation. You should therefore apprise yourself of the nature of the obligations of a particular bond issue and what claim priority exists in the event of the default or insolvency or liquidation of the issuer.
