Hedge Funds: NASD Risk Warning
The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) in the United States observes that unregistered private investment funds, managed accounts or pools, which employ different investment, hedging, leverage and arbitrage methodologies, with exposure to many different securities and futures markets, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds or unit trusts, including mutual fund / unit trust requirements to provide certain periodic and standardized pricing and valuation information to their investors. Kudos Capital, though not itself an NASD member firm, feels that these points may usefully be drawn to the attention of such potential hedge fund investors as may be unaware of them. Readers should note the following.
- Any investment in the funds should be discretionary capital set aside strictly for speculative purposes.
- Investment into funds with different currency from the investor’s base currency may be adversely effected by changes in currency exchange rate, outside the performance of the fund
- The funds may be leveraged and a fund’s performance can be volatile.
- The funds represent speculative investments and involve a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial portion of his/her investment.
- Some funds may execute a substantial portion of trades on foreign exchanges, which could mean higher risk.
- Some funds may use a single advisor or employ a single strategy, which could mean a lack of diversification and higher risk.
- An investment in the funds may be illiquid and there are significant restrictions on transferring interests in a fund. There is no secondary market for an investor’s investment in a fund and none is expected to develop.
- A fund’s fees and expenses-which may be substantial regardless of any positive return-will offset the fund’s trading profits.
- Some funds may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information.
- This summary is not a complete list of the risks and other important disclosures involved in investing in the funds and is subject to the more complete disclosures contained in the funds’ respective offering documents, which should be reviewed carefully.
- All performance information is net of applicable fees unless otherwise specifically noted. This material is provided for informational purposes only as of the date hereof and is subject to change without notice.
- Kudos Capital and the fund managers whose products are contained in any material distributed by Kudos Capital, are not bound or liable for any errors, ommisions or inaccuracies.
