Important information
This document is only intended for use by the original recipient,
either a Momentum GIM client or prospective client, and does
not constitute an offer or solicitation to any person in any
jurisdiction in which it is not authorised or permitted, or to anyone
who would be an unlawful recipient. The original recipient is
solely responsible for any actions in further distributing this
document, and in doing so should be satisfied that there is no
breach of local legislation or regulation. This document should
not be reproduced or distributed except via original recipients
acting as professional intermediaries. This document is not for
distribution in the United States.
Prospective investors should take appropriate advice regarding
applicable legal, taxation and exchange control regulations in
countries of their citizenship, residence or domicile which may be
relevant to the acquisition, holding, transfer, redemption or
disposal of any investments herein solicited.
Any opinions expressed herein are those at the date this
document is issued. Data, models and other statistics are
sourced from our own records, unless otherwise stated. We
believe that the information contained is from reliable sources,
but we do not guarantee the relevance, accuracy or
completeness thereof. Unless otherwise provided under UK law,
Momentum GIM does not accept liability for irrelevant, inaccurate
or incomplete information contained, or for the correctness of
opinions expressed.
The value of investments in discretionary accounts, and the
income derived, may fluctuate and it is possible that an investor
may incur losses, including a loss of the principal invested. Past
performance is not generally indicative of future performance.
Investors whose reference currency differs from that in which the
underlying assets are invested may be subject to exchange rate
movements that alter the value of their investments.
Under our multi-management arrangements, we selectively
appoint underlying sub-investment managers and funds to
actively manage underlying asset holdings in the pursuit of
achieving mandated performance objectives. Annual investment
management fees are payable both to the multimanager and the
manager of the underlying assets at rates contained in the
offering documents of the relevant portfolios (and may involve
performance fees where expressly indicated therein).
