The document may include funds which have not been specifically approved for sale in the jurisdiction of the recipient. In view of this, special care should be exercised when investing in this type of fund. We draw your attention to the following:
Some funds are subject to extended redemption periods or a restriction is placed on the amount of withdrawals from the fund during a redemption period. This is known as gating. The implementation of a gate on a hedge fund is up to the hedge fund manager. The purpose of the provision is to prevent a run on the fund, which would impact on its operations. Investors should consider a hedge fund with a gate as illiquid, as withdrawals from these funds are restricted.
