Important Information

The information on this website is for illustration and discussion purposes only. It is not intended to be, nor should it be construed or used as, investment, tax or legal advice, any recommendation or opinion regarding the appropriateness or suitability of any investment or strategy, or an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, an interest in any security, including an interest in any private fund or pool or any other private fund or pool advised by International Standard Asset Management (the “Investment Manager”) or any of its affiliates. The information on this website does not take into account the particular investment objectives, restrictions, or financial, legal or tax situation of any specific investor.

Any offer or solicitation of an investment in a fund may be made only by delivery of the fund’s offering documents to qualified investors. The information on this website is qualified in its entirety by the information contained in a fund’s confidential offering documents. Prospective investors in a fund should rely solely on the offering documents in making any investment decision. The offering documents contain important information, including, among other information, a description of the fund’s risks, investment program, fees and expenses, and should be read carefully before any investment decision is made. This material does not take into account the particular investment objectives, restrictions, or financial, legal or tax situation of any specific investor. An investment in a fund is not suitable for all investors.

In the case of distribution of shares of a fund in Switzerland, distribution must be made exclusively to qualified investors as defined below:

• FINMA regulated financial intermediary (such as a bank, securities trader, fund management company and asset manager of collective investment schemes, central bank);
• FINMA regulated insurance institution;
• Public institution, pension fund or commercial enterprise that is managing its treasury operations on a professional basis (including an independent wealth manager, family office or family trust);
• High-net-worth individual who has declared in writing that they wish to be deemed a qualified investor. In addition, the Swiss Federal Council may make such person’s suitability as a qualified investor dependent on certain conditions, specifically technical qualifications; or
• An investor who has concluded a written discretionary management agreement as defined in Article 3 Paragraph 2b and c of Swiss Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes (Collective Investment Schemes Act, CISA) of 23 June 2006 is deemed a qualified investor.

Any descriptions involving investment process, investment examples, statistical analysis, investment strategies or risk management techniques are provided for illustration purposes only, will not apply in all situations, may not be fully indicative of any present or future investments, may be changed in the discretion of the Investment Manager and are not intended to reflect performance. Portfolio characteristics and limits reflect guidelines only and are implemented, and may change, in the discretion of the Investment Manager. Investments are selected by, and will vary in the discretion of, the Investment Manager and are subject to availability and market conditions, among other factors.

No representation is made that the Investment Manager’s investment process, investment objectives, goals or risk management techniques will or are likely to be achieved or successful or that any underlying investment will make any profit or will not sustain losses. Investments in portfolios or accounts managed by the Investment Manager involve risk. The Investment Manager may engage in investment practices or trading strategies that may increase the risk of investment loss and a loss of principal may occur. The risk management techniques which may be utilized by the Investment Manager cannot provide any assurance that an investor will not be exposed to risks of significant trading losses. An investor is subject to potential loss of its investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Portfolio, volatility or return targets or objectives, if any, are used solely for illustration, measurement or comparison purposes and as an aid or guideline for prospective investors to evaluate a particular investment program’s strategies, volatility and accompanying information. Such targets or objectives reflect subjective determinations by the Investment Manager based on a variety of factors including, among others, the investment strategy and prior performance (if any), volatility measures, portfolio characteristics and risk, and market conditions. Volatility and performance will fluctuate, including over short periods, and should be evaluated over the time period indicated and not over shorter periods. Performance targets or objectives should not be relied upon as an indication of actual or projected future performance. Actual volatility and returns will depend on a variety of factors including overall market conditions and the ability of the Investment Manager to implement the investment process, investment objectives and risk management. No representation is made that these targets or objectives will be achieved, in whole or on part, by any account or portfolio managed by the Investment Manager.

Any opinions, assumptions, assessments, statements or the like (collectively, “Statements”) regarding future events or which are forward-looking, including regarding portfolio characteristics and limits, constitute only subjective views, beliefs, outlooks, estimations or intentions of the Investment Manager, should not be relied on, are subject to change due to a variety of factors, including fluctuating market conditions and economic factors, and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, many of which cannot be predicted or quantified and are beyond the Investment Manager’s control. Future evidence and actual results (including actual composition and investment characteristics of a portfolio) could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying these Statements, which are subject to change without notice. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance and no representation is given that these Statements are now, or will prove to be accurate, or complete in any way. The Investment Manager undertakes no responsibility or obligation to revise or update such Statements. Statements expressed herein may not necessarily be shared by all personnel of the Investment Manager and its affiliates.

This material is as of the date indicated, is not complete and is subject to change. Certain information is based on third party sources and, although believed to be reliable, has not been independently verified. The Investment Manager is not responsible for errors or omissions from these sources. No representation is made with respect to the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of information and the Investment Manager assumes no obligation to update or otherwise revise such information.
