Important Information
Investments in alternative investment strategies are speculative investments, entail significant risk and should not be considered a complete investment program. The identification of attractive investment opportunities is difficult and involves a significant degree of uncertainty. Any returns generated from alternative investment strategies may not adequately compensate investors for the business and financial risks assumed and there is no assurance any such strategies will be successful. An investment in these strategies is subject to various risks, such as those market risks common to entities investing in all types of securities, including market volatility. Also, certain trading techniques employed by many alternative investment strategies, such as leverage and hedging, may increase the adverse impact to which an investment portfolio may be subject. An investment in alternative investment strategies may be illiquid or provide for only limited liquidity and are suitable only for persons who can afford the loss of all or substantially all of their investment. Investors in many alternative investments may not receive periodic pricing or valuation and there may be a lack of transparency as to the underlying assets. Investing in alternative strategies may also involve tax and other consequences. A prospective investor should consult with its legal, financial and tax advisors before investing. An investor considering investing in alternative strategies should carefully consider all of the terms governing such investment including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.
