Envysion Commodity Strategy Fund
• Sub-fund of Envysion Global Investments VCC
(Variable Capital Company)
What is a Variable Capital Company?
• The Variable Capital Company (VCC) is a new corporate structure for investment funds constituted under the Variable
Capital Companies Act which took effect on 14 Jan 2020. The VCC will complement the existing suite of investment
fund structures available in Singapore.
• The VCC Act and subsidiary legislation is administered by ACRA. All VCCs must be managed by a MAS Licensed Fund
Manager . The anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism obligations of VCCs will come under the
purview of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

Some key features of a VCC


• A VCC has a variable capital structure that provides flexibility in the issuance and redemption of its shares. It can also pay
dividends out of capital, which gives fund managers flexibility to meet dividend payment obligations.
• A VCC can be set up as a single standalone fund or an umbrella fund with two or more sub-funds, each holding a
portfolio of segregated assets and liabilities. For fund managers that structure their funds as umbrella VCCs, there may
be cost efficiencies from using common service providers across the umbrella and its sub-funds.
• A VCC can be used for both open-ended and closed-end fund strategies.
• Fund managers may incorporate new VCCs or re-domicile their existing overseas investment funds with comparable
structures by transferring their registration to Singapore as VCCs.
• VCCs must maintain a register of shareholders, which need not be made public. However, this register must be disclosed
to public authorities upon request for regulatory, supervisory and law enforcement purposes.

Fund Strategy

Strategy Specification
• The main strategy involves the purchase of receivables arising from the sale of physical
commodities, specifically Nickel.

• Receivables are associated with forward contracts for the sale of the Nickel.

• Upon every purchase on a monthly basis, the seller will then enter into a forward contract
to secure the forward selling price with a buyer operating in LME market.

• Seller of the Receivables benefit from the arbitrage profits arise from the difference
between price for Nickel and the selling price of the forward contracts.

Envysion Commodity Strategy Fund will buy a portion of the undivided share of
such Receivables of the seller at a negotiated price, which will be on a non-
recourse basis to the Seller.

Risks and Considerations

Investment in the strategy is subject to the credit risk of the seller and other counterparties. The
Credit Risk investment is unsecured. An investor will need to perform his or her own due diligence.

Investment risk This is a Principal - at - risk product. There is no assurance that investors will recover the Principal,
in full or in part, and there is no certainty that any illustrative yield can be achieved.

Liquidity risk There is no liquidity nor secondary market during the tenor. However, the investor may liquidate
at the end of every quarter, subject to an early redemption penalty.

As with all shipments, there is a risk of loss of goods due to unforeseeable circumstances such as
Shipping and weather, accidents or exceptional events as pirates. This risk is significantly mitigated by insurance
logistics risk coverage which covers part the cargo value lost in such situations.**

The seller of the Receivables employs derivatives as part of their hedging strategies. The
derivatives can be traded via Over-The-Counter (OTC) with counterparties (primarily investment
Counterparty risk banks). Therefore, seller of the Receivables is exposed to counterparty risk if their counterparty
fails to fulfil its obligations.

**subject to the terms and conditions of the shipping insurance coverage.
