Key Risks
Risk Considerations: There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective or will work under all market conditions. The value of investments may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Portfolios may be subject to certain additional risks, which should be considered carefully along with their investment objectives and fees.
Illiquidity: An investment in alternatives is a long-term illiquid investment. By their nature, alternatives' investments will not generally be exchange traded. These investments will be illiquid.
Long term horizon: Investors should expect to be locked-in for the full term of the investment.
Economic conditions: The economic cycle and prevailing interest rates will impact the attractiveness of the underlying investments. Economic activity and sentiment also impacts the performance of underlying companies and will have a direct bearing on the ability of companies to keep up with interest and principal repayments.
Valuation: These investments may have no or a limited liquid market, and other investments including those in respect of loans and securities of private companies, may be based on estimates which cannot be marked to market until sale. The valuation of the underlying investments is therefore inherently opaque.
Market risk: There is no guarantee in respect of the repayment of principal or the value of investments, and the income derived therefrom may fall as well as rise. Investors therefore may not recoup the original amount invested in the Partnership. In particular, the value of investments may be affected by political and economic news, government policy, changes in technology and business practices, changes in demographics, cultures and populations, natural or human-caused disasters, pandemics, weather and climate patterns, scientific or investigative discoveries, costs and availability of energy, commodities and natural resources. The effects of market risk can be immediate or gradual, short-term or long-term, narrow or broad.
Political and economic risks: General economic conditions may affect the activities. Changes in economic conditions, including, for example, inflation, unemployment, competition, technological developments, political events and other factors, none of which will be within the control of the General Partner or the service providers, can substantially and adversely affect the business and prospect investors. Due to the geographic scope of its activities, the strategy may be vulnerable to country or regional-specific political, macroeconomic and financial environments or circumstances.
Further information on the potential risks can be found in the LPA.
