Nothing herein is intended to constitute advice on investment, legal or tax matters, nor is it an offering or an invitation to buy or sell shares in the Fund or in any other issuer of securities mentioned herein. The Content is not a recommendation for investment and cannot be considered (in whole or any of its parts) as an invitation to enter into a contract or commitment nor as a marketing material in connection with the investment in the Fund’s shares  or other associated instruments, unless expressly mentioned otherwise in a specific material included on the Website.

Any person considering an investment in the Fund or any other security mentioned herein should refer to the relevant issuer’s prospectus and consult their own legal, accounting and tax advisors in order to make an independent determination of the suitability and consequences of an investment in the securities.

Any decision to invest in the Fund must only be made on the basis of the prospectus of the Fund and other applicable offering documentation as the case. The shares issued by the Fund have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or with any securities authority of any state or territory within the jurisdiction of the United States of America. These shares may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States of America or to American citizens or nationals.

Statements of fact cited by the Fund Manager and included on this Website have been obtained from sources considered reliable, but no representation is made as to the completeness or accuracy. Because market and economic conditions are subject to rapid change, opinions provided are valid only as of the date of the materials. Any forward-looking statements are based upon certain assumptions; actual events are difficult to predict and are beyond the control of the author, therefore actual events may differ from those assumed. References to particular securities are only for the limited purpose of illustrating general market or economic conditions and are not recommendations to buy or sell a security or an indication of the author’s or any managed account’s holdings. The Fund Manager’s opinions are intended solely to provide insight into how such analyses securities and are not a recommendation or individual investment advice for any particular security, strategy or investment product.

The price of shares and income from them can go down, remain constant, as well as up depending on the evolution of the financial instruments held in the portfolio and you may lose some or all of your capital invested. The previous results of the Fund or the Fund Manager do not account for future performances, currency fluctuations will affect the value of foreign investments. All investments are subject to certain risks. Generally, investments offering the potential for higher returns are accompanied by a higher degree of risk. The investments in the shares of the Fund or associated instruments do not represent deposits.

Stocks and other equities representing an ownership interest in a corporation have historically outperformed other asset classes over the long term but tend to fluctuate more dramatically over the shorter term. The significant growth potential offered by Emerging Markets remains accompanied by heightened risks when compared to developed markets, including risks related to market and currency volatility, adverse social and political developments, and the relatively small size and lesser liquidity of these markets.

Persons who are interested in purchasing shares in alternative investment funds/companies are advised to read the current fund prospectus(es), especially the risk notices it or they contain, before making an investment decision. However, those risks, as described in the relevant documentation, cannot be considered as complete, accurate, or relevant in any circumstances and conditions.
