2 Investment information

The information on this website is not directed at any person in the United States and the website is not intended to be used by any person in the United States.

The content of this website is provided for information purposes only and is not an offer to purchase shares. Subscription for shares or units in any of the companies detailed in this website are to be made on the terms of the relevant prospectus and no reliance should be placed on the information in this website. The download or distribution of the information contained in this website may be restricted by law and persons who access it are required to inform themselves and comply with any such restrictions. The information on this website does not constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorised to or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. Investment involves risk. The value of shares may go down as well as up. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

All companies are unregulated collective investment schemes under the United Kingdom Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA"), and therefore do not carry the protection provided by the UK regulatory system. The information on this website is directed only at persons to whom such investment funds may lawfully be promoted by a person authorised under FSMA (an "authorised person") by virtue of Section 238(5) of FSMA and Annex 5 of Chapter 3 of the Financial Services Authority ("FSA") Conduct of Business Sourcebook. Shares in the investment funds referred to on this website are only available to such persons and information on this website must not be relied or acted upon by any other persons. Investors in the investment funds referred to on this website will not benefit from the rules and regulations made under FSMA for the protection of investors, nor from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Shares in the investment funds referred to on this website are not dealt in or on a recognised or designated investment exchange for the purposes of FSMA, nor is there a market maker in such shares, and it may therefore be difficult for an investor to dispose of his shares otherwise than by way of redemption. Please refer to the prospectus of the relevant investment product for further information. We strongly recommend that you seek professional investment advice before making any investment decision.
