Authorisation of the Funds by the CB does not constitute a warranty by the CB as to the performance of the Funds and the CB shall not be liable for the performance or default of the Funds. Authorisation of the Funds by the CB is not an endorsement or guarantee of the Funds by the CB nor is the CB responsible for the contents of the prospectus, supplements, simplified prospectuses or key investor information documents (“KIIDs”). This Web site has not been approved by any regulatory authority.

Subscriptions for shares in the Funds will only be accepted on the basis of the information contained in the prospectus, supplements, simplified prospectuses or key investor information documents (“KIIDs”) and, as appropriate, the latest annual reports and any subsequent semi-annual report of the Funds. No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation in connection with the offering of shares of any Fund other than those contained in the prospectus, the supplements, simplified prospectuses or KIIDs and in any subsequent annual or semi-annual report for the Funds and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied on as having been authorised by the directors, the manager, the investment advisers, the administrator, the custodian or the distributors of the Funds.

Investors may not get back the full amount invested, and if the net asset value of the Funds will fluctuate with market conditions. Fund charges also affect the return to investors. Investors who have any doubts as to the suitability of investment in the Funds should consult their financial adviser.

As a UCITS, the Funds may apply for recognition by other EU Member States or elsewhere and is a recognised scheme in the U.K. for the purposes of s.264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”). The Funds do not have a place of business in the U.K. and are not authorised under the Act. As a consequence, the regulatory regime governing an investor’s rights with respect to the Funds and similarly unauthorised overseas agents would be different from that of the U.K. As against the Funds and any overseas agent of the Funds who is not a person authorised to carry on investment business in the U.K., investors will not benefit from most of the protections afforded by the U.K. regulatory regime. In particular they will not benefit from rights under the U.K. Financial Services Compensation Scheme or access to the Financial Ombudsman service, which are designed to protect investors as described in the Act and the rules of the FSA, and rules made under the Act for the protection of private customers will not apply. The Funds are distributed by EVMI.
