You should be aware that the internet is not a completely reliable transmission medium. We shall not have any liability for any data transmission errors such as data loss or damage or alteration of any kind, including, but not limited to, any direct, indirect or consequential damage, arising out of the use of the services provided herein.

Messages that you send to us by e-mail may not be secure. We recommend that you do not send any confidential information to us by e-mail.

Our affiliates, officers and/or employees may have holdings in our investment products and may otherwise be interested in transactions that you effect in those products.

Please remember that past performance of an investment is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax assumptions may change if the law changes, and the value of tax relief (if any) will depend upon your individual circumstances. Investors should consult their own tax advisers in order to understand any applicable tax consequences. Where the underlying investments of a fund consist wholly or substantially of real property, it may be difficult or impossible to realise an investment because the real property concerned may not be readily saleable and the value of real property is generally a matter of a valuer's opinion.

If you are unsure about the meaning of any information provided on this web site, then please consult your financial or other professional adviser. We do not offer investment advice.
