Fund Name Changes to comply with the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) Guidelines.
Resource Efficiency remains at the heart of our portfolio construction and underlying strategies have not changed.
With effect from 20 May 2025 (the ‘Effective Date’) and following regulatory approval by the Central Bank of Ireland, the following Funds have been renamed.
| Funds – Previous | Funds – New |
|---|---|
| Osmosis Resource Efficient Core Equity Fund | Osmosis Developed Core Equity Transition Fund |
| Osmosis Resource Efficient Core Ex-Fossil Fuels Fund ICAV | Osmosis Developed Core Equity Fossil Fuel Transition Fund |
| Osmosis Resource Efficient Developed Markets Core Equity (ex-Fossil Fuels) Trust (AUS) | Osmosis Developed Core Equity Fossil Fuel Transition Trust |
| Osmosis Resource Efficient Emerging Markets Equity Fund | Osmosis Emerging Markets Core Equity Transition Fund |
| Osmosis Resource Efficient Core Equity Ex-Fossil Fuels Fund CCF | Osmosis Developed Core Equity Fossil Fuel Transition (CCF) Fund |
NB: Osmosis Resource Efficient Developed Markets Core Equity (ex-Fossil Fuels) Trust (AUS) name change is still in process.
The Fund names were changed to comply with the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) Guidelines on Fund names that use ESG or sustainability-related terms, which took effect on 21 May 2025. The investment manager of the Fund, Osmosis Investment Management UK Limited (“Osmosis”), has been applying these recently mandated (2024) ESMA Climate Change Benchmark exclusions for over 10 years and this approach will not change nor will Osmosis make any changes to its current investment approach as a result of these regulations.
