Certain information on this website may not be available in all geographical locations and the information on this website has been tailored accordingly. You agree that you will not attempt to gain access to areas of this website other than those made available to you.

Offering and selling restrictions

The distribution of shares in the Company in certain jurisdictions may be restricted. Accordingly, persons accessing information on this website are required to inform themselves about, and to observe, such restrictions. Specifically, this website is not intended for use by any person in the United States.

 

No advice

Liontrust and the Company do not offer investment advice nor recommendations and the investment products detailed in this website may not be suitable for you. Any prices and other information on this website is provided for your information only and does not constitute a personal recommendation or advice. If you are in any doubt about the information detailed on this website then you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser duly authorised in this regard.

Any decision to invest in the Company should be based solely on the prospectus, key investor information document, the annual report and the annual and half-yearly accounts or equivalent documents of the Company.

Tax Implications

Investing can involve complex tax structuring, which should be reviewed carefully by clients and investors. Furthermore, certain investments may result in income tax payments becoming due and owing. The Company and Liontrust do not provide any advice on tax as relating to investment products as this will depend on your own circumstances, and tax rules may change in the future.

Past performance

Past performance does not predict future returns and performance is not guaranteed. The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

Pricing

The price of shares of the Company and the income from them can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed and investors and clients may not get back the amount originally invested.

An investor who sells shares in the Company after a short period may not realise the amount originally invested in view of any initial payments which may have been made.

 

Risk warnings

Investment in emerging markets or smaller companies involve risk factors and special considerations which may not be typically associated with investing in more developed markets. Political or economic change and instability may be more likely to occur and have a greater effect on the economies and markets of emerging countries. Adverse government policies, international sanctions, taxation, restrictions on foreign investment and on currency convertibility and repatriation, currency fluctuations and other developments in the laws and regulations of emerging countries in which investment may be made, including expropriation, nationalisation or other confiscation could result in loss.

Securities of smaller companies may, from time to time, and especially in falling markets, become illiquid and experience short-term price volatility and wide spreads between bid and offer prices. Investment in smaller companies may involve higher risk than investment in larger companies.

The above-mentioned risk factors are not to be considered exhaustive. For further information on specific products or services, please refer to the relevant prospectus, Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and/or investment management agreement.
