Dagsorden
- The Board of Directors’ review of the previous year.
- Presentation of the annual report for adoption, proposal for the allocation of profit for the year, any proposals for the allocation of proceeds in relation to asset realisations as well as approval of the remuneration of board members, cf Article 19(6) of the Articles of Association.
- Proposals submitted by the Board of Directors or investors.
- Proposals submitted by the Board of Directors:
a) To amend the Articles of Association where the wording “… expected to make a positive contribution to sustainable development” is deleted from the description of Sydinvest Kvalitetsaktier. The ESG category will therefore be changed from High to Medium at the same level as Sydinvest’s other global equity funds.
The reason for proposing the change in the description and the ESG category stems from the fund’s withdrawal from the Nordic Swan Ecolabel as well as the previous change in strategy and name from Sydinvest Bæredygtige Aktier to Sydinvest Kvalitetsaktier, where no change in the ESG category was made at the time.
As a result of the current high ESG category, the fund is subject to stringent ESG re-quirements that are of financial importance and that have an impact on return potential as well as the possibility to control risk relative to the fund’s benchmark. These disadvantages are reduced by changing the ESG category.
b) To change the strategy of the fund Sydinvest USA Value Akkumulerende KL from a value strategy to a quality strategy and at the same time to change the fund’s name from “Syd-invest USA Value Akkumulerende KL” to “Sydinvest USA Kvalitetsaktier Akkumulerende KL”.
The reason for proposing a change in strategy and name is a wish to be able to offer a better aligned strategy to the fund’s investors where focus is on an actively managed fund focusing on quality shares in the US market. The fund has a unit class W only.
At the same time as the change in strategy and name, the fund will change its benchmark from “MSCI USA Value Index” to “MSCI USA Index”. - Election of board members.
The Board of Directors proposes the re-election of the board members standing for re-election. A description of nominated candidates is available at sydinvest.dk. - Appointment of auditor.
The Board of Directors proposes the reappointment of PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS STATSAUTORISERET REVISIONSPARTNERSELSKAB.
6) Any other business.
