General Site Terms and Conditions

Advice

Nothing contained within this site shall be deemed or construed to constitute a recommendation or financial or other professional advice. All potential investors should take appropriate investment advice before considering an investment into any Castlestone Management LLC investment product. You should not rely solely on the information contained within these site pages, and should carefully read the appropriate offering document(s) and all other relevant documentation and/or terms and conditions available relating to any specific investment product before applying to purchase.

Investing

The capital value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the amount invested. Prospective investors should be aware of the underlying risks associated with investing in shares listed on certain stock markets which can be more volatile and less marketable than in more developed stock markets. The value of shares may rise or fall due to changes in the rate of exchange in the currency in which the funds are denominated if it is different from the investors’ own currency.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and any income derived from them can go down as well as up and the value of an investor’s investment may be extremely volatile and be subject to sudden and substantial falls. The prices of commodities contracts and all derivatives instruments, including futures and options, are highly volatile. Certain investment positions may be illiquid. The Funds may invest in securities of financially troubled companies, illiquid over-the-counter securities and non-publicly traded securities.

Investment in emerging market funds involves risk factors and special considerations which may not be typically associated with investing in more developed markets. Political or economic change and instability may be more likely to occur and have a greater effect on the economies and markets of emerging countries. Adverse government policies, taxation, restrictions on foreign investment and on currency convertibility and repatriation, currency fluctuations and other developments in the laws and regulations of emerging countries in which investment may be made, including expropriation, nationalisation or other confiscation could result in financial loss.

Income from investments may fluctuate. Changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of investments. You should be aware that investments in higher yielding bonds issued by borrowers with lower credit ratings may result in a greater risk of default and have a negative impact on income and capital value. Income payments may constitute a return of capital in whole or in part. Income may be achieved by foregoing future capital growth in Income share classes. Fund charges may be applied in whole or part to capital, which may result in capital erosion.

The above list of risk factors is not complete and reference should be made to the offering document(s) of the relevant product before investing.

Castlestone Management LLC takes investments introduced via intermediaries only.
