Any projections, market outlooks or estimates contained in this website constitute forward looking statements and are based on certain assumptions and subject to certain known and unknown risks. Accordingly, such forward looking statements should not be relied upon as being indicative of future performance or events.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amounts originally invested.
In the United Kingdom this website is only available to professional investors meeting the criteria for professional clients set out in COBS 3.5 of the Conduct of Business Sourcebook in the Financial Conduct Authority’s Handbook of rules and guidance, including ‘investment professionals’ within the meaning of Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 or Article 14(5) of the Investment Services and Markets Act 2000 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001 .
This website is being provided by QSM for informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice. It is not a recommendation of, or an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy, any particular security, strategy or investment product.
The counterparty to a derivative or other contractual agreement or synthetic financial product could become unable to honour its commitments to the investment fund, potentially creating a partial or total loss for the investment fund. The investment fund can be exposed to different currencies. Changes in foreign exchange rates could create losses. A derivative may not perform as expected, and may create losses greater than the cost of the derivative. If an investment fund uses derivatives for leverage, it makes it more sensitive to certain market or interest rate movements and may cause above-average volatility and risk of loss.
Equity prices fluctuate daily, based on many factors including general, economic, industry or company news. In difficult market conditions, the investment fund may not be able to sell a security for full value or at all. This could affect performance and could cause the investment fund to defer or suspend redemptions of its shares. The investment fund may take positions that seek to profit if the price of a security falls. A large rise in price of the security may cause large losses. Failures at service providers could lead to disruptions of investment fund operations or losses.
