possibility of foreign exchange controls, expropriation, nationalization or confiscation of assets; (vii) the ability
to maintain sufficient liquidity and access capital markets; (viii) operational factors such as systems failure,
human error, or the failure to properly implement procedures; (ix) actions taken by regulators; (x) the effects of
changes in laws, regulations or accounting policies or practices; (xi) competition in geographic and business
areas; and (xix) our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. We caution you that the foregoing
list of important factors is not exclusive; when evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully
consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events.

Risk Considerations
Past performance should not be taken as an indication or guarantee of future performance, and no
representation or warranty, express or implied, is made regarding future performance. Investing entails risks,
including possible loss of principal. The price of, value of and income from securities or financial instruments
can fall as well as rise. Certain investments are subject to high volatility, and may experience sudden and large
falls in their value. Losses may equal or exceed your original investment. Foreign currency-denominated
securities and financial instruments are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates that may have a positive or
adverse effect on the value, price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Some investments may
not be readily realizable and it may be difficult to sell or realize those investments. Similarly, it may prove
difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
There are also special risk considerations associated with international and global investing (especially
emerging markets), small-company investing, single-industry funds or investment strategies, single-country or
regional funds or investment strategies, or other special, aggressive or concentrated investment strategies,
such as the use of leverage or derivatives. Investors in securities effectively assume these risks.

IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION
The website for Belfund Société D’Investissement à Capital Variable (SICAV) (hereinafter referred to as “Belfund”) contains information and opinions on financial instruments, products and services (hereinafter collectively referred to as “financial products”). Therefore, you may visit the website only after carefully reading and accepting following important legal notices.vBy declaring your acceptance, you declare that you have understood the legal information and that you expressly agree thereto.
Local Legal Restrictions
The following section on financial products contains information and opinions on financial products (e.g. investment funds) that may be subject to registration requirements in different countries. It is not directed at natural or legal persons for whom the use of or access to the website of Belfund Société D’Investissement à Capital Variable (SICAV) («Belfund») would violate the legal system of their country due to the nationality or domicile/registered office of the person concerned or for other reasons. This applies in particular to citizens and/or residents of Great Britain, Japan and the USA. By accepting this legal notice, the visitor to this website confirms that he is a qualified investor under the Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA) with domicile in Switzerland.
No Recommendation or Offer
The content published in the section on financial products does not constitute a recommendation or an offer to buy, hold or sell the financial products mentioned or to carry out other transactions or legal acts. It is intended solely for personal use and for information purposes and, like this legal information on financial products, may be changed at any time without prior notification by Belfund. The content provided in the section on financial products is not intended as a recommendation for your investment or other decisions and does not have any advisory character whatsoever. However, before making an investment in a financial product, investors should carefully read the current legal documents and any other documents that may be required by local legal and regulatory provisions (e.g. prospectus/KIID and the annual and semi-annual report of an investment fund). It is particularly important to study in detail the legal information and risk warnings contained therein. It is also recommended that a specialist be consulted before an investment decision is made.
No Warranty
Belfund takes the greatest possible care in compiling the content relating to financial products. Nevertheless, Belfund and its contractual partners assume no guarantee or liability to third parties with regard to the accuracy, topicality and completeness of the published content. In particular, Belfund is under no obligation to update the content or remove outdated content. Furthermore, Belfund accepts no responsibility and gives no guarantee that the functions of the website with content relating to financial products will not be interrupted or are free of errors, that errors will be rectified or that the website or the relevant server is free of viruses or other harmful components and programs. The Belfund website may also contain links to websites operated by third parties. These links are completely beyond Belfund's influence. For this reason, Belfund accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness and legality of the content of such websites or for any offers and services contained therein.
Risk Notice
In principle, the higher the risk (e.g. price fluctuations), the longer the investment period should be and the higher the potential returns. The value of the invested capital as well as the income flowing from it (e.g. distributions in connection with investment funds) are subject to fluctuations or may not occur at all.Investments in foreign currencies are directly and indirectly subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Individual financial products are generally subject to higher risks (e.g. investment funds that invest primarily in emerging markets and/or in shares of low-capitalized companies and/or in high-yield bonds).
Performance
A positive performance (value development) in the past is in no case a guarantee for a positive performance in the future. Belfund and its contractual partners therefore cannot guarantee that the value of the invested capital will be maintained (or even increased) and investors must be willing or able to accept substantial losses or even total losses. Any fees and costs (e.g. commissions and costs charged on the subscription and redemption of fund units) charged when buying, holding or selling the financial product are not included in the performance calculation.
Exclusion of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Belfund and its contractual partners disclaim all liability (including negligence and liability towards third parties) for any losses arising from direct, indirect or consequential losses of any kind whatsoever which are connected with the use of the website and its content or with the risks of the financial markets.
