Professional Investment Adviser and Investment Risk

You should consult a professional adviser on your particular financial circumstances and you should not rely on the material on this site. Before making an investment, you should read the appropriate fund prospectus (if applicable) or other terms and conditions as may be appropriate and raise any questions you have on this documentation with your professional adviser.

All investments involve a degree of risk. In particular note:

• Past performance is not a guide to future performance
• The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount invested
• Where the investment has exposure to overseas assets, changes in exchange rates between currencies may cause the value of the investment and the level of income to rise and fall

Hedge Funds

Investment in hedge funds is limited to certain types of investors and they are not generally considered suitable for private investors and can only be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant fund prospectus.

The promotion of hedge funds in the United Kingdom is restricted by Section 238 of the Financial Services and Markets 2000 (the "Act") as they are classified as unregulated collective investment schemes. Shares may not be offered or sold in the United Kingdom other than to the category of investors described in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001. This includes firms authorised to carry on investment business under the Act and institutional and other investors who have experience of alternative, unregulated investments such as hedge funds.

 Distribution of shares in the hedge funds may be restricted in other jurisdictions and you should satisfy yourself of the legal, tax and other relevant requirements of the jurisdiction in which you are domiciled before making any investment. In particular, the shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any U.S. State securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold to persons in the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable State securities laws. Accordingly, the shares may only be offered or sold to investors outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act
