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

The state of the origin of the Real Assets Global Opportunity Fund is the British Virgin Islands, whilst the paying agent in Switzerland is Credit Suisse AG, Paradeplatz 8, CH-8001 Zurich.

Credit Suisse AG (CS) has agreed to provide custodial services. CS will not provide any other services or perform any other functions except safekeeping and the usual administrative matters relating to the safe custody of the assets, and will have no other duties or responsibilities. CS will not provide advisory services or asset management services, nor will it monitor investment management activities or investment strategies. CS shall not supervise or control the activities of the investment manager, or the administrator. CS does not warrant the contents of the documentation nor will it be involved in the management, administration or net asset value calculation of the fund. CS does not act as sponsor or promoter of the fund. CS shall not have any duties or responsibilities within the meaning of Article 72 et seq. of the Swiss Act on Collective Investment Schemes of June 23, 2006, as amended (SR 951.31). CS does not assume any liability for negligent or wilful misconduct of the fund’s investment manager or administrator and potential investors should not rely upon CS in deciding whether or not to invest.

The state of the origin of Principal Investing Fund I, Global Fixed Income Fund I and Long View II Limited is the Cayman Islands, whist the paying agent in Switzerland is Banque Pictet & Cie SA, Route des Acacias 60, 1211 Geneva 73. Banque Pictet & Cie SA (“Pictet”) has agreed to provide custodial services to the fund. Pictet will not provide any other services or perform any other functions except safekeeping and the usual administrative matters relating to the safe custody of the assets of the fund, and their additional role as paying agent and will have no other duties or responsibilities. For example, Pictet will not provide advisory services or asset management services nor will it monitor investment management activities or investment strategies. Pictet shall not supervise or control the activities of the fund’s investment manager, or its administrator. Pictet does not warrant the contents of the relevant documentation nor will it be involved in the management, administration or net asset value calculation. Pictet does not act as sponsor or promoter. Pictet shall not have any duties or responsibilities within the meaning of Article 72 et seq. of the Swiss Act on Collective Investment Schemes of June 23, 2006, as amended (SR 951.31).
