Regulations

Policy for preventing and managing conflicts of interests

AMF General Regulation Book III Articles 313-18 through 313-28

Hi Inov hereby establishes and maintains in effect an efficient policy to manage conflicts of interest; it must be set out in writing and must be suited to its size, organization, nature, scale and the complexity of its business activities. Specifically, it must:

– Identify and state the various services and activities of the PMC, and the situations giving rise or liable to give rise to a conflict of interest.

> Prohibit or control the exchange of information between individuals carrying out activities involving a risk of a conflict of interest. > Distinct monitoring of individuals carrying out activities on behalf of clients that may have a conflict of interest. > Eliminate all economic ties between individuals that may have a conflict of interest. > Prohibit or restrict any person from exercising an inappropriate influence over the way in which a given person performs their activities. > Prohibit or control a person’s simultaneous or consecutive involvement in multiple investment services when such services would adversely affect the appropriate management of conflicts of interest.

– A register recording the services or activities liable to pose a conflict of interest must be kept and regularly maintained (every half-year of normal operations).

 

Application

The company has limited exposure to risks of conflicts of interest, as its only activities comprise the collective management of streamlined or contractual FCPRs (retail private equity investment funds) intended for professional clients and consulting services provided to companies, which are governed by an efficient system of procedures and internal controls.

The company performs no management on its own behalf; as a type 2 management company, it does not provide the service of receiving and transmitting orders, does not publish its own financial analysis as the analysis produced is only intended for managers.

Finally, we would point out that the PMC’s primary means of compensation consists of management fees. Managers’ compensation comprises a fixed portion and a variable bonus, depending on the PMC’s net profit. Managers receive no compensation in respect of the transactions carried out, which excludes unjustified portfolio rotations. Managers are eligible to subscribe to “carried interest”, which is not liable to give rise to a conflict of interest.

By its very construction, the PMC’s exposure to a risk of a conflict of interest is therefore limited. However, the management company has identified a certain number of potential conflicts of interest presented in a risk map (Appendix 1). This table serves as a basis for half-year controls and is updated annually.
