c1)        WHAT ARE YOU INVESTING IN?

You are investing in the Shares of a Sub-Fund of the Investment Company, an umbrella fund incorporated as a société anonyme qualifying as a société d’investissement à capital variable, under Part II of the Luxembourg Law of 17 December 2010.  

The Articles of Incorporation were initially published in the Mémorial on 24 July 2013 and were amended on 2 June 2014. The Investment Company has been registered with the Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés, Luxembourg under the number B.178.747.  

The Investment Company qualifies as an alternative investment fund within the meaning of the law of 12 July 2013 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers, which transposed Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative Investment Fund Managers into Luxembourg law. 

The Investment Company offers investors, within the same investment vehicle, a choice between several sub-funds (the “Sub-Funds”) or Categories, which are managed separately and which are distinguished mainly by their specific investment policy, by the currency in which they are denominated and/or by their duration. The specifications of each Sub-Fund are described in the relevant Annex of the Prospectus. The Investment Company invests in a portfolio of traditional and/or alternative assets.   

Please refer to the Offering Document, in particular to Section 2: “The Company” and to the Annex for the relevant Sub-Fund. 

c2)        WHAT ARE THE KEY RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT?

An investment in a Sub-Fund involves certain risks relating to the particular Sub-Fund’s structure and investment objectives which investors should evaluate before making a decision to invest in such Sub-Fund. 

The investments within each Sub-Fund are subject to market fluctuations and to the risks inherent in all investments; accordingly, no assurance can be given that the investment objectives of the relevant Sub-Fund will be achieved. 

Investors should make their own independent evaluation of the financial, market, legal, regulatory, credit, tax and accounting risks and consequences involved in investment in a Sub-Fund and its suitability for their own purposes. In evaluating the merits and suitability of an investment in a Sub-Fund, careful consideration should be given to all of the risks attached to investing in a Sub-Fund. 

The following is a brief description of certain factors which should be considered along with other matters discussed elsewhere in the Prospectus. The following does not, however, purport to be a comprehensive summary of all the risks associated with investments in any Sub-Fund. 

An investment in Shares of a Sub-Fund carries substantial risk and is suitable only for investors who accept the risks, can afford losing their entire investment and who understand that there is no recourse other than to the assets of the relevant Sub-Fund. An investment in Shares of a Sub- Fund should not constitute a substantial portion of an investor’s investment portfolio and may not be suitable for all investors. 

Please refer to the Prospectus, in particular to Section 4 ”General Risk Factors” and to the Annex for the relevant Sub-Fund. 

c3)        WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF CAPITAL LOSS?

The Net Asset Value per Share may decrease as well as increase. An investor may not receive back the amount he has invested. Changes in exchange rates may also cause the Net Asset Value per Share in the investor’s base currency to increase or decrease. There is no guarantee as to the Investment Company’s future performance or return.   

Additionally, general risks which are inherent in all investments, the investment in the Investment Company entails risks specific to the investment objectives and strategy of each Sub-Fund.   

Please refer to the Prospectus, in particular to Section 4 ”General Risk Factors” and to the Annex for the relevant Sub-Fund. 

c4)        WHAT RETURN CAN YOU EXPECT?  

There is no guarantee as to the Investment Company’s future performance or return. Past performance is not an indicator of future returns.  Please refer to the Prospectus, in particular to Section 4 ”General Risk Factors” and to the Annex for the relevant Sub-Fund.
