3.No Offer or Solicitation

This Website is not intended and must not be construed as an offer or solicitation to purchase, or an offer to sell, shares of any fund or another investment product mentioned on this Website (the “Fund”) in any jurisdiction. In particular, this Website is not intended as marketing of any Fund in any member state of the European Economic Area for the purposes of the EU Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative Investment Fund Managers.

Any offer will only be made on the basis of the prospectus or offering memorandum relating to the relevant Fund. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD REVIEW THE PROSPECTUS OR OFFERING MEMORANDUM, INCLUDING THE RISK FACTORS, BEFORE MAKING A DECISION TO INVEST.  Prospective investors should rely only on the prospectus or offering memorandum in making a decision to invest, even if certain descriptions contained on this Website may be more detailed than those contained in the relevant prospectus or offering memorandum. Subscriptions may only be made on the terms of the relevant prospectus or offering memorandum and subject to completion of a subscription agreement. In addition, any investment or transaction will be subject to applicable legal and regulatory restrictions, including the prospective investor meeting applicable eligibility criteria.

4.No Investment Advice

This Website is not intended to influence you in making any investment decisions and should not be considered as advice or a recommendation to invest.  The Content may not be suitable for all investors, and investors must make their own investment decisions using their own independent advisers and must base their decisions on the relevant offering material and legal documentation in relation to the specific investment.

Users of this Website should be aware that Securis is not acting for, or advising them, and is not responsible for providing them with the protections available under the UK regulatory system. Compensation will not be available from the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

5.Nature of the Content

The Content is intended only for information purposes and convenient reference and is not intended to be complete.  It is not intended to provide, and should not be relied upon, for accounting, legal or tax advice or investment recommendations.  You should consult your tax, legal, accounting or other advisors about the issues discussed on this Website.

Changes in such assumptions could produce materially different results. The Content is not intended to forecast or predict future events. All opinions, projections and estimates constitute the judgment of the author as of the date on which this Website was last updated. Securis assumes no duty or responsibility to update this Website, and any views, forecasts, estimates or opinions expressed on this Website may change without notice.

6.Certain Risks

Investing entails certain risks, including the possible loss of the entire capital invested. The Funds and services of Securis may entail substantial risks and are not suitable for certain investors. Most of the protections provided by the UK regulatory system will not apply to investments in a Fund. Investment in a Fund may expose an individual to a significant risk of losing all of the property or other assets invested.

Some, but not all, of these risks are contained in the relevant prospectus or offering memorandum. Potential investors should familiarize themselves with these risks and obtain advice from their own tax, financial, legal and other advisors and only make investment decisions based on the investor’s own objectives, experience and resources.  Please note the following general risk warnings: (i) Investment in a Fund is speculative and involves a substantial degree of risk.  No guarantee or representation may be made that a Fund will meet its investment objectives, or avoid substantial or total losses; (ii) Past performance of an investment is not a reliable indicator or a guarantee of future results; (iii) the value of investments, and the income from them, may go down as well as up and is not guaranteed so an investor may not get back the amount originally invested; (iv) Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a fund with higher volatility and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially; (v) A Fund may be leveraged, may invest in illiquid securities and may engage in other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss; (vi) Investment in a Fund should be considered illiquid. There is no secondary market for the investors’ interest in a Fund and none is expected to develop; (vii) If a Fund holds securities denominated in a currency other than sterling, changes in exchange rates may affect the value of your investment. Rates of exchange may also cause the value of investments to go up or down; (viii) Where charges are taken wholly or partly out of a Fund’s capital, distributable income will be increased at the expense of capital which will either be eroded or future growth constrained.
