*For CI II, CI III, CI GMF 
This is a close-ended fund which was structured, established and held its final closing prior to the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (the “Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation” or "SFDR"). The Fund's overall approach to its environmental and social characteristics thus did not formally take in to account the defined principle of “do no significant harm” as defined in the SFDR and EU Taxonomy, and therefore the Fund's investments are not currently considered to meet the specific definition of “sustainable investments” within the meaning of art. 2(17) of the SFDR.

**For fund CI-V, CI-IV, CI-ETF I, CI-GCF I and CI-ABF I
This fund was marketed after 10 March 2021, i.e. after the criteria for a “sustainable investment” within the meaning of Article 2(17) of EU Regulation 2019/2088 was applicable and/or available. On the basis that it is a financially focused fund with an objective to invest in economic activities that contribute to an environmental objective, this fund currently assessed as an Article 9 (“dark green”) fund. 

***Past performance is not indicative of future performance. There can be no guarantee that fund objectives will be achieved.

****Capital raised as of 31 December 2022 for CI Green Credit Fund I and CI Advanced Bioenergy Fund I which are both active fundraising as of 31 December 2022 with a target fund size of EUR 1.0 billion.
