Fund Provider Response

Worley is a global engineering and professional services firm that delivers consulting, project delivery, and asset services across energy, chemicals, and resources. While Worley continues to provide services to fossil fuel related companies, it has grown it sustainability and transitional related revenue to be ~60% of total revenue. Services in this area include carbon capture and storage, battery materials and renewable energy projects.

Channel has closed its refinery operations. It now owns storage and transportation assets for refined product and the transportation is via pipeline which would be more efficient and less carbon intensive than rail or trucking. Remove this comment for Concentrated Fund as we do not own it there as of March 2026.
