Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) Information

Figures refer to the past and that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Firm Information

Impax Asset Management is defined as Impax Asset Management Ltd, Impax Asset Management (AIFM) Ltd., Impax Asset Management Ireland Ltd, Impax Asset Management LLC, and Impax Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (together, “Impax”). These entities are subsidiaries of Impax Asset Management Group plc (‘IAM’) which is a publicly traded investment management company registered in the United Kingdom, and is headquartered in London, UK. For GIPS purposes the firm includes discretionary and non-discretionary accounts but excludes accounts which have a mandate to invest entirely in private equity or property. Prior to January 2018, Impax Asset Management only included Impax Asset Management Limited and Impax Asset Management (AIFM). The firm was redefined to also include Impax Asset Management LLC to reflect the acquisition of Pax World Management LLC. The firm’s List of Composite, Limited Distribution Pooled Fund, and Broad Distribution Pooled Fund descriptions is available upon request.

Claiming GIPS Compliance

Impax Asset Management claims compliance with Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. Impax Asset Management has been independently verified for the periods March 1, 2002 through to December 31, 2023. A firm that claims compliance with the GIPS standards must establish policies and procedure for complying with all the applicable requirements of the GIPS standards. Verification provides assurance on whether the firm’s policies and procedures related to composite and pooled fund maintenance, as well as the calculation, presentation, and distribution of performance, have been designed in compliance with the GIPS standards and have been implemented on a firm-wide basis. Verification does not provide assurance on the accuracy of any specific performance report.

The Core Plus Bond Composite has had a performance examination for the periods January 1, 2021 through to December 31, 2023. The verification and performance examination reports are available upon request.

Calculation Methodology

Returns are calculated using the asset-weighted method and individual portfolios are revalued daily or monthly, depending on their structure. Results are based on fully discretionary accounts under management, including those accounts no longer with the firm. Composite performance portrayed reflect the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains, and other earnings when appropriate. Gross of fees returns are calculated gross of management and custodial fees and net of transaction costs. Withholding taxes may vary according to the investor’s domicile. Net of fees returns are calculated by reducing monthly gross returns by the maximum applicable fee according to the stated fee schedule below. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This performance report should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular securities held in composite accounts. Market conditions can vary widely over time and can result in a loss of portfolio value.

Fees and Expenses

Impax Asset Management uses a model fee, which is the maximum applicable fee, for the computation of composite net-of-fee returns. Actual investment advisory fees incurred by portfolios may vary.

Other Disclosures

A plus strategy adds additional fixed income sectors like high yield bonds, emerging market bonds, and convertible debt instruments that offer greater risk, but greater potential return.

There is no guarantee that the investment objective will be achieved or that return expectations will be met.

Since May 2011, the composite can be leveraged by up to 20% of the net asset value.

It is not part of the IAM investment philosophy to invest in leverage or derivatives. However, the IEM account can borrow up to 20% of its assets for investment purposes.

Effective March 28, 2024, the Impax Global Women’s Leadership strategy followed a different portfolio construction process with a different investment objective. Performance of the strategy for periods prior to March 28, 2024, may not be representative of the performance the strategy would have achieved had the strategy been following its current investment strategy.

On June 4, 2014, the Pax World Global Women’s Equality Strategy reorganized into the Impax Global Women’s Leadership Strategy.

Trading may occur in local currency, but it is converted to base currency based on Bloomberg exchange rates as of 6pm Greenwich Mean Time each day, therefore performance is affected by currency translation. Since October 2010 base currency is converted using WM Reuters exchange rates as of 4pm Greenwich Mean Time.

The USD is the currency used to express performance, results are affected by currency translation. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS Reports are available upon request. The GIPS Report is available in other currencies upon request.
