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.
