GAM LSA Private Shares AU Fund

: All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of the investment and the income from it will vary and the initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed.

: Some investments can be difficult to sell quickly which may affect the value of the Fund and, in extreme market conditions, its ability to meet redemption requests.

: If a counterparty to a financial derivative contract were to default, the value of the contract, the cost to replace it and any cash or securities held by the counterparty to facilitate it, may be lost. The use of derivatives may create leverage, which can magnify both gains and losses; even small market movements can therefore result in proportionally larger changes in the Fund’s value, including the risk of significant loss of capital.

: Investments in equities (directly or indirectly via derivatives) may be subject to fluctuations in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. Equities and equity-related securities (such as warrants and rights issues) can be affected by daily stock market movements.

: Non-base currency share classes may or may not be hedged to the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates will have an impact on the value of shares in the Fund which are not denominated in the base currency. Where hedging structures are in place, they aim to reduce but may not fully eliminate currency risk.

: Concentration in a limited number of securities and industry sectors may result in more volatility than investing in broadly diversified funds.

: Investment in companies of a single country may be subject to greater political, social, economic and tax risks and may be more volatile than investments in more broadly diversified funds. Local tax law may change retrospectively and without notice.

: This list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Please refer to the relevant Fund’s Product Disclosure Statement.
