RE:
NOTICE OF NAME CHANGE
Dear
Investor
The ICAV
is authorised by the Central Bank pursuant to the European
Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable
Securities) Regulations 2011, as amended.
The
purpose of this notice is to inform shareholders of the ICAV that
the name of the ICAV has changed to "ARK Invest UCITS ICAV". The
name of the ICAV was updated in order to reflect the recent change
in the name of the marketing agent and promoter of the
ICAV.
Separately,
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted
rule changes to shorten the standard settlement cycle for certain
U.S. securities transactions from two business days following the
relevant trade date (T+2) to one business day following the
relevant trade date (T+1) (the "U.S.
Settlement Rule Changes"). Each
of the sub-funds of the ICAV (collectively, the
"Funds")
that engage in U.S. securities transactions in accordance with
their respective investment policies are impacted. Accordingly, in
anticipation of the implementation of the U.S. Settlement Rule
Changes in May 2024, each of the
supplements for the Funds are proposed to be updated, subject to
the approval of the Central Bank, to reflect that, as a result of
the U.S. Settlement Rule Changes, it is intended that settlement of
subscriptions in the Funds will generally occur within one business
day (T+1), rather than two business days (T+2), after the relevant
dealing day (unless otherwise stipulated by the Manager or its
delegate at their discretion).
Should you
have any questions relating to this matter, you should contact the
Manager.
