Overview
Description of Firm
Veridien Global Investors LLC ("Veridien") is based in Darien, CT. We are organized as a limited
liability company under the laws of the state of Delaware. We are owned by Ariane Mahler, Paulus
Ingram, Robert Walker, and NBCP, LLC.
We are indirectly owned by Darcy Dewey and John Dewey.
The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Refer to the description of each investment
advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual
needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Veridien Global Investors
LLC and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our
firm.
Portfolio Management Services
We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our
clients' needs and investment objectives.
If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant us
discretionary authority to manage your account. Subject to a grant of discretionary authorization, we
have the authority and responsibility to formulate investment strategies on your behalf. Discretionary
authorization will allow us to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be
purchased or sold for your account without obtaining your approval prior to each transaction. We will
also have discretion over the broker or dealer to be used for securities transactions in your account.
Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment advisory agreement you sign with our
firm, a power of attorney, or trading authorization forms.
As part of our portfolio management services, in addition to other types of investments (see
disclosures below in this section), we may invest your assets according to one or more
model portfolios developed by our firm. These models are designed for investors with varying degrees
of risk tolerance ranging from a more aggressive investment strategy to a more conservative
investment approach. Clients whose assets are invested in model portfolios may set reasonable
restrictions on the specific
holdings or allocations within the model, or the types of securities that can
be purchased in the model, if the portfolio manager determines those restrictions will not be overly
disruptive to the management strategy.
In providing account management services, we will accept reasonable client restrictions on the specific
securities or the types of securities that may be held in your account upon your request and
acceptance by the portfolio manager.
Exchange Traded Fund Sub-Advisory Services
We serve as the investment sub-adviser/investment manager to a registered investment company
("Fund"). This creates a potential conflict of interest because we could receive compensation as your
investment adviser and as the investment sub-adviser to the Fund. This is mitigated by the fact that we
will not accept an investment advisory fee from any client who we have directed to invest in the Fund.
You should refer to the prospectus for a complete description of the fees, investment objectives, risks
and other relevant information associated with investing in the Fund. Refer to the Investment
Discretion section below for additional disclosures on our discretionary authority to manage your
investment account.

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in public companies with technologies and
business models that contribute to climate change mitigation.
Securities held in separate accounts may also be the same securities as those purchased by the Fund.
Types of Investments
We invest in exchange traded equity securities and/or ADRs. Please refer to Item 8 for a complete
description of our investment strategies. Our clients include an exchange-traded fund, a private fund,
and Separately Managed Accounts ("SMAs") for high net-worth individuals.
Since clients have the ability to impose restrictions on their account the advice the investment adviser
may provide to you could be different or conflicting with other clients.
Assets Under Management
As of March 1, 2023, Veridien had discretionary assets under management of approximately $704,253,
and had $0 non-discretionary assets under managment.
