SUSTAINABLE FINANCE DISCLOSURE REGULATION
CABEI Central American Fund Plc
KBA Consulting Management Limited (“KBA”), in its capacity as UCITS Manager to CABEI Central American Fund Plc (the “Company”) has appointed DWS Investment GmBH (the “investment manager”) as its delegate.
No Consideration of Adverse Impacts on Sustainability Factors
The Company does not currently consider the principal adverse impacts of its investment decisions on Sustainability Factors. The Company is currently opting out of doing so, primarily since the regulatory technical standards supplementing SFDR which will set out the content, methodology and information required in the principal adverse sustainability impact statement remain in draft form. The Company intends to consider the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on Sustainability Factors once the regulatory technical standards come into effect.
Sustainability Risk Policy Summary
Sustainability Risks are not taken into account in investment decisions and Sustainability Factors are not considered to be relevant in the context of such decisions because they are not specified in the investment objectives and policies currently set out in the Prospectus. However, the Company’s sustainability metrics are frequently monitored by the Company. The financial impact of a sustainability risk occurring is expected to be minimal.
Pricing of Securities Held in Portfolio
All securities held by the Fund for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the closing price on the primary exchange quoted for the securities (but if bid and asked quotation are available, at the last current bid price, rather than the quoted closing price). Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Custodian of the Fund, that is, the Northern Trust Fiduciary Services (Ireland) Limited.
If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated prices as applicable, obtained from a broker-dealer. Such service may use various pricing techniques, which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.
All other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are taken at probable realization value as determined in good faith by the Directors (or by a Pricing Committee of Directors established for this purpose), with the approval of the Custodian, although the actual calculation may be done by other competent and responsible persons.
Any assets or liabilities initially expressed in currencies other than US Dollars are converted into US Dollars at the closing rate of exchange quoted by a recognized pricing service.

Remuneration Policy Summary
KBA’s remuneration policy has been reviewed and has been updated to meet the requirements of SFDR.
Article 5 of the SFDR required financial market participants, such as the Company, to promote sound and effective risk management practices with respect to sustainability risks and where the structure of remuneration does not encourage excessive risk‐taking with respect to sustainability risks. Although the Company does not integrate sustainability risks into its investment decisions and does not currently have regard to the impact of its investment decisions on sustainability factors, the Company's board of directors is of the opinion that the foregoing provisions of this policy are consistent with the promotion of sound and effective risk management and do not encourage excessive risk-taking by the Board or its delegates.
