Key risks associated with the Company
You acknowledge that investment in the Company entails a high degree of risk and is suitable only for sophisticated investors for whom an investment in the Company does not represent a complete investment program and who fully understand and are capable of bearing the risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider the investment objective and restrictions of the Company as described in this document. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its investment objective or that investors will receive a return on their capital.
Shares in the Company are not redeemable at the option of investors. The Company does not expect an active secondary market to develop in the Shares. Shares may, depending on the supply and demand, trade at a significant discount to the Net Asset Value per Share from time to time. Investors should not expect that they will necessarily be able to realise, within a period which they would otherwise regard as reasonable, or at all, their investment in the Company, nor can they be certain that they will be able to realise their investment on a basis which necessarily reflects the full value of the underlying investments held by the Company
Accordingly, an investment should be made only by those persons who can sustain a loss of their entire investment. Investment results may vary substantially over time and on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis and the value of an investor’s investment may substantially decline as well as substantially appreciate.
