Prospective investors should not construe the contents of this presentation as legal, tax, investment, or other advice. Each investor is encouraged to consult with its own advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory, financial, accounting, and similar consequences of investing in the fund, the suitability of the investment for such investor, and other relevant matters concerning an investment in the fund. Accordingly, before making an investment in a private fund, potential investors should carefully read the applicable Private Offering Memorandum and subscription application and consult their professional advisor as an investment in a private fund is speculative, not appropriate for all clients, and is intended for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high risks of such an investment.
