Specific Risks

  • Delegation of Control: Although management will screen the fund or other collective investment scheme for the portfolio within the platform, the manager has no ability or obligation to predict the investments the advisors to that fund may select, or whether such advisors will act in accordance with disclosure documents or descriptive materials furnished by them to manager
  • Lack of Control: The Management will not control the individual investments made by a platform or other collective investment scheme in which the platform invests. The choice of investments and other investment decisions made with respect to any such fund will be totally within the control of that platform’s advisors. There can be no assurance that such investments will be successful or will not result in substantial losses
  • Valuation: The directors and the administrator will rely on the valuations provided by the platform or other collective investment scheme in which the platform invests for the purposes of calculating the Net Asset Value of the portfolio within the platform and preparing financial reports. There is no assurance that such valuations will be correct
  • Concentrated Investments: Although a platform may intend to invest in several funds or other collective investment scheme, two or more of those funds may hold the same investments. Therefore if a platform, through such a fund, makes investments that are ultimately concentrated in a limited number of types of investment, the platform could be exposed to losses disproportionate to market declines in general, if there are disproportionately greater adverse price movements in those investments
  • Offsetting Investments: Conversely, funds or other collective investment schemes in which the platform invests may, at times, hold economically offsetting positions. To the extent that funds, in fact, hold such positions, the platform considered as a whole, may not achieve any gain or loss despite incurring expenses.
  • Investment Strategies Used by Funds or Other Collective Investment Schemes May Fail or Change: Certain economic conditions, such as illiquidity within a market, may cause an investment strategy employed by one or more funds or other collective investment schemes in which the platform invests to fail and adversely affect the performance of the relevant portfolios within the platform
  • Lack of Operating History: Each portfolio within the platform, when initially offered, is newly (or relatively newly established and has no (or no substantive) operating history. The past performance of the principals of, or entities associated with, the management of any portfolio may not be construed as an indication of the future results of an investment in such portfolio within the platform
  • Substantial Fees and Expenses: Each portfolio within the platform will be required to meet certain fixed costs, including establishment and offering expenses, investment-related expenses, and ongoing administrative and operating expenses (such as fees payable to the service providers). These fees and expenses may be substantial and will be payable by each portfolio regardless of whether any profits are realized by such portfolios
  • Illiquidity: There is not now, and there is not likely to develop, any market for the resale of shares. Shares are subject to limited redemption rights. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the platform may suspend redemptions or delay payment of redemption proceeds with respect to one or more portfolios within the platform, or limit the amount redeemed from any portfolio on any redemption day
  • Do Not Participate in Management: Shareholders do not participate in the management of the platform or a portfolio or the conduct of its business
  • Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and carry a high degree of risk – including the loss of the entire investment
