Jupiter Green Investment Trust PLC
AGM
In light of the fact that we are holding an open meeting but recognise some shareholders might be reluctant to travel in this environment, we are pleased to be able to provide a facility for shareholders to follow the AGM remotely and submit questions to the board on the business of the meeting.
How to join the virtual meeting
You will need to visit https://webcast.openbriefing.com/jupiter-agm21/ using your smartphone, tablet or computer. You will then be prompted to enter your unique 11 digit Investor Code (IVC) including any leading zeros and ‘PIN’. Your PIN is the last 4 digits of your IVC. This will authenticate you as a shareholder.
Your IVC can be found on your share certificate, or Signal Shares users (www.signalshares.com) will find this under ‘Manage your account’ when logged in to the Signal Shares portal. You can also obtain this by contacting Link, our Registrar, by calling +44 (0) 371 277 1020*
Access to the AGM will be available from 30 mins before start of event although you will not be able to submit questions until the meeting is declared open.
If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair of the meeting and for them to attend the virtual meeting on your behalf, please submit your proxy appointment in the usual way before contacting Link Group on +44 (0) 371 277 1020* in order to obtain their IVC and PIN. It is suggested that you do this as soon as possible and at least 48 hours (excluding non-business days) before the meeting.
If your shares are held within a nominee and you wish to attend the electronic meeting, you will need to contact your nominee as soon as possible. Your nominee will need to present a corporate letter of representation to Link Group, our registrar, as soon as possible and at least 72 hours (excluding non-business days) before the meeting, in order that they can obtain for you your unique IVC and PIN to enable you to attend the electronic meeting.
*Lines are open from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Monday to Friday, calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls outside the UK will be charged at the applicable international rate.
Overview
Please bear in mind that all investments involve risk and the value of, and any potential income from, your investment may fluctuate and are not guaranteed.
The Company’s portfolio has a bias towards small and medium capitalisation companies. It invests primarily in securities which are quoted, listed or traded on a recognised exchange. However, up to 5 per cent of the Company’s Total Assets (at the time of such investment) may be invested in unlisted securities.
Jupiter Asset Management Limited, as the Company’s Investment Adviser, selects each stock on its individual merits as an investment rather than replicating the relevant company’s weighting within the Company’s benchmark index. The Company’s investment portfolio is therefore unlikely to represent the constituents of its benchmark index, but instead is intended to offer a well diversified investment strategy focused on maximising returns from the prevailing economic background.
The Investment Adviser may enter into contracts for differences in order to gain both long and short exposure for the Company to indices, sectors, baskets of individual securities for both investment purposes and for hedging or efficient portfolio management purposes. The ability to maintain a portfolio of both long and short positions provides the flexibility to hedge against periods of falling markets, to reduce the risk of absolute loss at portfolio level and to reduce the volatility of portfolio returns. The portfolio manager may also invest in single stock, sector and equity index futures and options.
Risk is also mitigated by investing mainly in quoted companies on registered exchanges, ensuring full regulatory compliance for all underlying quoted investments. There are no specific stock and sector size limitations within the portfolio, but the individual portfolio manager is expected to provide sufficient stock, sector and geographic diversification to ensure an appropriate trade-off between risk and return within the portfolio. In order to ensure compliance with this objective there is a two tier monitoring system. First, the individual portfolio manager’s portfolio is assessed monthly by the Jupiter Asset Management Limited Performance Committee, which is headed by the Chief Executive of Jupiter Asset Management Limited. Secondly, the Board is provided with a detailed analysis of stock, sector and geographic exposures at the Trust’s regular Board meetings.
Any material change in the investment policy of the Company described above may only be made with the approval of Shareholders by an ordinary resolution.
Our industry experience and strong track record of investing in the companies of tomorrow has led to us identifying six key investment themes which we believe will address key climate and natural capital solutions in the coming decades:
- Green mobility
- Clean energy
- Green buildings & Industry
- Sustainable agriculture & Land ecosystems
- Circular economy
- Sustainable oceans & Freshwater systems
These themes represent a diverse range of topics which go beyond the traditional subjects associated with environmental investing and cover issues such as biodiversity loss and wider forms of degradation to the natural world. We expect this encouraging trend to continue, providing a healthy stock-picking landscape of companies focussed on environmental solutions.

The Company operates a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP), which gives shareholders the opportunity to acquire additional Jupiter Green Investment Trust shares in a cost-effective way by re-investing their cash dividend. The plan is available to all shareholders provided that they do not live in or are subject to the jurisdiction of any country where their participation in the plan would require Jupiter Green Investment Trust or the plan administrator to take action to comply with local government or regulatory procedures or any similar formalities.
You can apply to join the DRIP online via your Shareview Portfolio at www.shareview.co.uk. Follow the link from “My Investments” to view your holdings summary, access the Dividend Election page for your holding and follow the instructions onscreen to complete the application.
Shareholders wishing to join the DRIP should ensure that their completed instruction is received by the plan administrator, Equiniti Financial Services Limited, no later than 15 working days before the dividend payment date, otherwise it will only apply from the next dividend that the DRIP is applied to. Having joined the DRIP, dividends will continue to be reinvested until the plan administrator receives written instructions requesting withdrawal from the DRIP.
A DRIP application form along with the latest DRIP Terms and Conditions is also available to download from www.shareview.co.uk/info/drip or by contacting Equiniti.
The DRIP is operated on a mandated basis; in other words, your election to participate will apply to all future dividends until you cancel or otherwise terminate your mandate or sell/transfer your shares.
You may withdraw from the DRIP at any time by contacting Equiniti. Your notice of withdrawal from the DRIP must be received no later than 15 working days prior to the payment date of a dividend, if you do not wish to be included in the DRIP for that dividend. Where proper notification is received by Equiniti of a participant’s death, bankruptcy or mental incapacity, that participant will cease to participate in the DRIP unless the participant was a joint holder, in which case the DRIP will continue for the remaining joint shareholder.
In the event of the sale or transfer of your shares or your withdrawal from the DRIP any outstanding balance will be repaid to you as soon as possible.

Notes from the Investment Floor: The mood music is starting to lift
Market and exchange rate movements can cause the value of an investment to fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than originally invested.
We recommend you discuss any investment decisions with a financial adviser, particularly if you are unsure whether an investment is suitable. Jupiter is unable to provide investment advice.
Investment trust companies are traded on the London stock exchange, therefore the ability to buy or sell shares will be dependent on their market price, which may be at a premium or discount to their net asset value.
Jupiter Green Investment Trust PLC
The Jupiter Green Investment Trust can borrow money and use it to invest, known as being ‘geared’. This may increase returns but can also result in sudden and large falls in the value of the shares. In the event it is necessary for the company to repay sums it has borrowed during market declines, this repayment could have a negative effect on future capital growth.
Before making an investment decision, please read the PRIIPS Key Information Document which is available from Jupiter on request and at www.jupiteram.com.
Past performance is no guide to the future.
Company examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not a recommendation to buy or sell.
The Company currently conducts its affairs so that its shares can be recommended by Financial Advisers to ordinary retail investors in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) rules in relation to non-mainstream pooled investment products and intends to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Company’s shares are excluded from the FCA’s restrictions which apply to non-mainstream pooled investment products because they are shares in an investment trust.
