2. Limitations on use and reliance of information on website

2.1:

The information contained in the Website is for information purposes only and does not constitute and should not be construed as advice on which reliance should be placed, an offer by ARP to enter into any contract or investment agreement or a solicitation to buy or sell any investment in any jurisdiction or in any circumstances. Any information provided in relation to a specific fund is not intended to provide a sufficient basis on which to make any investment decision as any such decision requires careful study of the offering memorandum of the relevant fund.

No information on the Website is intended to amount to the financial promotion of Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes which are not authorised or recognised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and cannot be promoted to the general public.

This is because such investors are sufficiently experienced and sophisticated to understand the risks associated with such investments, including the possibility of a substantial loss or complete loss of their investment.

2.3:

No information on the Website has been included with regard to any individual’s circumstances, objectives, or needs and each individual must make his own independent decisions regarding any securities or financial instruments.
