Frostrow Capital LLP, the Company's Alternative Investment Fund Manager, has conducted an annual Value Assessment on the Company in line with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules set out in the Consumer Duty regulation. The Assessment focuses on the nature of the product, including benefits received and its quality, limitations that are part of the product, expected total costs to clients and target market considerations. Within this, the assessment considers quality of services, performance of the Company (against both benchmark and peers), total fees (including management fees and other fees as applicable to the Company), and also considers whether vulnerable consumers are able to receive fair value from the product. Frostrow Capital LLP concluded that the Company is providing value based on the above assessment.
