PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Site visitors should note that investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise. We invest in a wide variety of financial instruments each of which exhibits different levels of risk. We define risk as the magnitude of price volatility measured over periods of time.
Certain investments such as hedge funds and private equity funds cannot be bought and sold on a daily basis and sometimes cannot be sold for periods measured in years.This may mean that certain investments cannot be immediately sold even if an individual ceased being a client of this firm. Sometimes, investments include exposure to derivative contracts, albeit these are generally, but not always, used to manage risk.
Depending upon the investor's currency of reference (viz. the currency in which the investor is used to working), currency fluctuations may adversely affect the value of investments and the income from them.
Any investment related views expressed on this site or by any other medium are those of our team at the time and may well change in future.
Past performance and other statistics cannot and should not be used as a guide to the future. Crucially, all readers must take personal responsibility for any action taken resulting from the content of this site.

INVESTMENT RISK
There are significant risks associated with investment in the funds outlined in the site. Investment in the schemes on this site is intended for investors who can accept the risks associated with such an investment including a substantial or complete loss of their investment. Such schemes are permitted to and use gearing as an investment strategy. The effect of such gearing is that movements in the price of the schemes will be more volatile than the movements in the prices of their underlying investments.
Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and any income derived from them can go down as well as up and the value of an investor's investment may be extremely volatile and be subject to sudden and substantial falls. The prices of commodities contracts and all derivatives instruments, including futures and options, are highly volatile. Certain investment positions may be illiquid. The Funds may invest in securities of financially troubled companies, illiquid over-the-counter securities and non-publicly traded securities.
Investment in emerging market related funds involves risk factors and special considerations which may not be typically associated with investing in more developed markets. Political or economic change and instability may be more likely to occur and have a greater effect on the economies and markets of emerging countries. Adverse government policies, taxation, restrictions on foreign investment and on currency convertibility and repatriation, currency fluctuations and other developments in the laws and regulations of emerging countries in which investment may be made, including expropriation, nationalisation or other confiscation could result in loss to the fund.
Income from investments may fluctuate. Changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of investments. You should be aware that investments in higher yielding bonds issued by borrowers with lower credit ratings may result in a greater risk of default and have a negative impact on income and capital value. Income payments may constitute a return of capital in whole or in part. Income may be achieved by foregoing future capital growth. Fund charges may be applied in whole or part to capital, which may result in capital erosion
The foregoing list of risk factors is not complete and reference should be made to the relevant Offering Memorandum.
