Conflict of interest

This summary of our conflicts of interest policy aims to describe the main measures of identification, prevention and monitoring of conflicts of interest.

A conflict of interest is defined as a situation in which Argos Wityu, or any person directly or indirectly linked to Argos Wityu by a control relationship, carries out activities whose performance, if the organisation is not set up appropriately, may harm the interests of the clients. This definition applies to actual, potential or apparent conflicts of interest.
For the purpose of identifying the types of conflicts of interest that arise in the course of managing a fund, Argos Wityu takes into account whether the Company, a relevant person or a person directly linked by way of control to the Company:

 a) is likely to make a financial gain, or avoid a financial loss, at the expense of the fund or its investors;

 b) has an interest in the outcome of a service or an activity provided to the fund or its investors or to a client or of a transaction carried out on behalf of the fund or a client, which is distinct from the fund’s interest in that outcome;

 c) has a financial or other incentive to favour:
– the interest of another fund, a client or group of clients over the interest of the managed fund,
– the interest of one investor over the interest of another investor or group of investors in the same fund;

 d) carries out the same activities for the fund and for another fund or client;

 e) receives or will receive from a person other than the managed fund or its investors an inducement in relation to collective portfolio management activities provided to the fund, in the form of monies, goods or services other than the standard commission or fee for that service.

Argos Wityu has established internal rules in order to monitor the conflicts of interest process. All employees are aware of the conflicts of interest policy, the internal rules and the prevention measures implemented. The compliance officer is responsible for the process of identification, prevention, management and monitoring of the potential and existing conflicts of interests. The compliance officer periodically controls the conflicts of interest management process in order to ensure its effectiveness. In situations where a conflict of interest has been identified, the compliance officer will record the details of the conflict in the register of conflicts of interest.

When possible, this conflict is classified according to the conflict-of-interest mapping in order to identify quickly the management process. If it is not possible, this conflict is added to the mapping as a new potential conflict of interest. The compliance officer will suggest, in coordination with the relevant departments, remediations to monitor the identified conflict of interest to the Argos Wityu’s Directors who will have to approve, modify or reject the compliance officer’s suggestions. The purpose of the monitoring procedures that would be set up is always to protect the investors’ interests.

An annual report to the Argos Wityu’s Directors is prepared by the compliance officer. It includes all the conflicts of interest that have been identified during the year and the monitoring and/or remedial measures which have been implemented.

Claiming

Argos Wityu has adopted a complaint handling procedure which provides a clear and precise understanding of the way in which the Argos Wityu handles any complaints made by its clients. As defined by the AMF instruction n°2012-07, a complaint means a statement of dissatisfaction by a client towards the professional. A request for information, opinion, clarification, service or provision is not a complaint.

A complaint must be sent by post at the following address:

Argos Wityu
To the attention of Anna Karin Portunato
112, Avenue de Wagram
75017 PARIS

Argos Wityu can also be contacted by email at address: investor.relations@argos.fund.
The investment relation team undertakes to handle complaints within ten working days from receipt, free of charge. The compliance officer is immediately informed of the claim and involved in its processing.

Argos Wityu may request the claimant to provide further necessary information. To respond to the claim, Argos Wityu will make all necessary investigations and collect all relevant evidence and information on each complaint.

A response is sent to the claimant within at most two months of receipt of the claim, unless duly justified special circumstances occur. The response must be in the language in which the claim was made (provided that it is an official language of a State in which the AIF has been marketed). Argos Wityu records complaints received and applies procedures to follow up and resolve incidents and takes corrective measures if an irregularity has been identified. A regular report including the list of claims being processed as well as the tracking of responses and deadlines is made to management.

If, after receiving a response, the claimant considers he/she did not receive a complete, clear and justified response, the claimant has the possibility to submit the case to the AMF ombudsman.
The AMF ombudsman is the relevant mediator for any disputes concerning a financial instrument, investment service or, more generally, any matter falling within the AMF’s jurisdiction. The mediation is a public service provided free of charge.

The claimant can submit a complaint to the AMF ombudsman:

• On the AMF’s website at the following address: http://www.amf-france.org/, where he can fill in the “Request for Mediation” form to submit the case to the ombudsman;

• By post to the following address:

Le médiateur de l’AMF
17 place de la Bourse
75082 Paris Cedex 2 – FRANCE
