Alternative Investment Managers Directive 2011/61/EU
For the purposes of the Alternative Investment Managers Directive 2011/61/EU (the AIFMD), a number of our funds are categorised as alternative investment funds (AIFs). Neither the fund nor the investment managers are based in an EU member state and would therefore be classed as a ‘third country AIF’ and ‘third country AIFM’ respectively. The intention is to market funds to investors based in Europe and Switzerland.
Floreat in Switzerland
In compliance with the marketing restrictions imposed by the AIFMD and the private placement laws of Switzerland, a number of our funds have engaged local distributors and paying agents, which are authorised and regulated to market the funds and liaise with potential investors. The fund documents may only be distributed in Switzerland to qualified investors within the meaning of art. 10 para. 3, 3bis and 3ter CISA. The representative is ACOLIN Fund Services AG, Affolternstrasse 56, CH-8050 Zurich. The prospectuses, the Key Investor Information Documents, the fund regulations or the articles of association, as well as the annual and semi-annual reports, may be obtained free of charge from the representative. In respect of the units distributed in or from Switzerland, the place of performance and jurisdiction is at the registered office of the representative. Past performance is no indication of current or future performance. The performance data do not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of units. If information displayed on these sites concerns collective investments vehicles that have not appointed a Swiss representative and paying agent, we inform you that they cannot be distributed to investors in Switzerland, even to Qualified Investors
