Participation policy
Faro Invest falls under the term “asset manager” according to Art. 367a No. 3 of the Liechtenstein Persons and Companies Act (PGR) and therefore has to describe its participation policy in terms of Art. 367h PGR.

  • Faro Invest does not exercise any shareholder rights within the meaning of Art. 367h para. 1 items 1 and 4 PGR based on participation in the companies in which the company has invested within the scope of asset management mandates. In particular, no rights related to the general meetings of stock corporations are exercised. The right to a share in profits and to subscription rights are exercised in consultation with the clients.
  • The monitoring of important matters of the companies within the meaning of Art. 367h para. 1 item 2 PGR is carried out by taking note of the legally required reporting of the companies in financial reports as well as ad hoc announcements.
  • There is no exchange of opinions with the corporate bodies and stakeholders of the companies within the meaning of Art. 367h para. 1 item 3 PGR.
  • There is no cooperation with other shareholders or other relevant stakeholders of the Company within the meaning of Art. 367h para. 1 items 5 and 6 PGR.
  • In the event of conflicts of interest within the meaning of Art. 367h Para. 1 No. 7 PGR, disclosure is made to the persons concerned in accordance with the statutory provisions and clarification of the further course of action with them is provided.
  • An annual publication on the implementation of the participation policy within the meaning of Art. 367h para. 2 PGR does not take place, because a corresponding exercise of rights does not take place.
  • A publication of the voting behavior in the sense of Art. 367h para. 2 PGR does not take place, because a participation in votes does not take place.

Sustainability · ESG
In accordance with the European Union’s understanding of sustainability, sustainability is not to be limited to ecological aspects, but should rather take into account the entire ESG spectrum (Environment, Social and Governance). In this respect, Faro Invest is subject to disclosure obligations arising from the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (Disclosure Regulation). In fulfillment of these disclosure obligations, we disclose the following.

Sustainability and conscious responsibility towards society and the environment are more than a momentary trend for us. Faro Invest supports the three sustainability criteria ESG. The acronym stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and refers to the three key factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of an investment in a company or business.

Faro Invest lives sustainability in its daily practice. In addition to the economic investment objectives of return, security and availability, ethical values of the investor are also taken into account when investing money. Nevertheless, Faro Invest considers the entire EU regulatory framework regarding ESG as bureaucratically overloaded and therefore currently declares itself ESG neutral.

Faro Invest currently does not implement the strategies for incorporating sustainability risks in the investment decision-making process or investment advisory process as required by EU regulations and consequently does not take into account the adverse effects on sustainability factors. One of the reasons for this is that not all relevant information on this is yet available.

However, we will closely follow developments in this area and will provide information here on any changes.
