Conflicts of Interest

Valuno’s (Valuno Group AB (publ) and its subsidiaries) business is based on trust, which is a prerequisite for the company to be able to run a successful business. Nurturing the trust that Valuno has received from clients, shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders is of the utmost importance, as well as avoiding damage or harm to the business.

Valuno strives to prevent the occurrence of conflicts of interest to the greatest extent possible. This includes implementing clear internal policies, procedures, and responsibilities.

Conflicts of interest are not forbidden as such, but they should be identified and managed if they cannot be avoided. Conflicts of interest may arise when personal, professional, or financial interests of an individual interfere, or appear to interfere, with their ability to act in the best interests of the clients and/or the company.

All employees, members of the management body and board members within Valuno are responsible for avoiding situations where personal or financial interests could harm the company or its clients. They are required to report actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest on an annual basis or when significant changes in circumstances occur. This reporting obligation also applies to new employees as part of the recruitment process. If an identified conflict of interest cannot be fully avoided, Valuno will implement appropriate measures to mitigate its impact, customised to the specific circumstances.

Conflicts of interest can arise in various areas. The potential conflicts of interest that have been identified within Valuno include personnel having additional external positions that may conflict with responsibilities to the company and business ownerships with financial interests that could influence professional judgments or decisions.

None of the identified and reported potential conflicts of interest by employees, members of the management body and the board within Valuno detriment the company or its clients. The compliance function conducts ongoing reviews to ensure continued oversight.
