Interested parties should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the information set out in this communication. Neither the Fund Advisor nor the General Partner has independently verified any of the information, including the projections, reflected herein; no representation or warranty (express or implied) as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the information in this document is or will be made by the Fund Advisor or the General Partner and, except in the case of their own fraudulent misrepresentation, neither the Fund Advisor, nor the General Partner  nor any of their respective directors, officers, representatives, employees or agents shall have any liability for any other representations (express or implied) contained in, or for any omissions from, this communication or any other communication, whether written or oral or in a visual or an electronic form transmitted to the recipient in the course of the recipient's evaluation of the opportunity.

No other person has been authorised to give any information (other than the information included in this document) or to make any representation relating to this investment opportunity on behalf of the General Partner or the Fund Advisor and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the  General Partner or Fund Advisor. No investment literature other than this document (and revisions thereto), any investor presentation and the Fund Documents given by the General Partner  may be used in connection with the Potential Transaction.

The delivery of this communication does not imply that the information contained herein is correct subsequent to the date of this communication. This communication may contain certain "forward-looking" statements and information relating to the proposed investment opportunity which is based on the beliefs of the Fund Advisor, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Fund Advisor.

When used in this communication, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend" and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to the proposed investment opportunity, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties, and assumptions related to certain factors including, without limitation, competitive factors, general economic conditions, market conditions, and other factors described herein, based upon changing conditions; should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialise or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, or intended. Neither the General Partner nor the Fund Advisor  intends nor shall it be obliged to update these forward-looking statements.

Investments in the Fund will involve significant risks, some of which are summarised in the subsequent page. Relevant persons interested in exploring this investment opportunity further are advised to consider all risks relating to such investments. Investments do not guarantee a return, and the value and the income from them can fall as well as rise, so that you may not realise the amount originally invested and may lose a significant part of such amount. Where an investment is denominated in a currency other than sterling, changes in exchange rates between currencies may cause the value of investments to go up or down. Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future results. Investors are reminded that investments in real estate funds and land products are illiquid and the Fund should not be relied upon to provide short or medium term liquidity. There is no warranty the Fund will be profitable. There is no secondary market for an investor's interest in the fund and none should be expected to develop. An investment in such a fund should be viewed as a long term commitment and may not be suitable to some investors. Any returns generated by the Fund will be reduced by expenses incurred by and fees earned by the General Partner.

 

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and risk factors:

 

Any decision to purchase securities or interests in any of the Fund that are open for investment must be based solely upon the information contained in the final Fund Documents, which must be received and reviewed prior to any investment decision. Any person subscribing for an investment must be able to bear the risks involved and must meet the suitability requirements relating to such investments. Some or all alternative investment programs may not be suitable for certain investors.

Distribution of information or documents contained in this communication may be restricted by law. Accordingly, this information and documents may not be distributed in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. Persons receiving this communication should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. Any dissemination or other unauthorised use of this information or documents by any person or entity is strictly prohibited.

The actual performance realised by any given investor will depend on numerous factors and circumstances. This communication may include returns for various indices. These indices are not intended to be direct benchmarks for a particular Fund, nor are they intended to be indicative of the type of assets in which a particular Fund may invest. The assets invested in by the Fund will likely be materially different from the assets underlying these indices, and will likely have a significantly different risk profile. Target returns, volatility and Sharpe ratio figures quoted are targets only and are based over the long term on the performance projections of the investment strategy and market interest rates at time of modelling and therefore may change.

Among the risks we wish to call to the particular attention of prospective investors are the following: (1) the Fund's investment programme is speculative in nature and entails substantial risks; (2) the investments of the Fund may be subject to sudden and large falls in price or value and there could be a large loss upon realisation of a holder's investment, which could equal the total amount invested; (3) as there is no recognised market for many of the investments of the Fund, it may be difficult or impossible for the Fund to obtain complete and/or reliable information about the value of such investments or the extent of the risks to which such investments are exposed; (4) an investment in the Fund is illiquid and there is no secondary market for the sale of interests in a Fund and none is expected to develop; (5) there are restrictions on transferring interests in a Fund; (6) the General Partner, the Fund Advisor and their respective affiliates may receive performance-based compensation, which may result in riskier investments, and the Fund’s fees and expenses may offset trading profits; (7) the Fund and related parties will be subject to certain conflicts of interest; (8) certain securities and instruments in which the Fund may invest can be highly volatile; and (9) the Fund may be leveraged. Taxation levels, bases and reliefs may change if the law changes, thereby potentially reducing the returns by the Fund further. These risks are by no means exhaustive. Other risks to consider relate to, among other things, macro-economic factors affecting the real estate sector, the London land market, regulatory and tax changes as well as operational and management risks. 

Although the information in this communication is believed to be materially correct as at the date of issue, no representation or warranty is given as to the accuracy of any of the information provided. Furthermore no representation or warranty is given in respect of the correctness of the information contained herein as at any future date. Certain information included in this communication is based on information obtained from third-party sources considered to be reliable. Any projections or analysis provided to assist the recipient of this communication in evaluating the matters described herein may be based on subjective assessments and assumptions and may use one among alternative methodologies that produce different results. Accordingly, any projections or analysis should not be viewed as factual and should not be relied upon as an accurate prediction of future results. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, the General Partner and the Fund Advisor and their respective affiliates, agents, service providers and professional advisers assume no liability or responsibility and owe no duty of care for any consequences of any person acting or refraining to act in reliance on the information contained in this communication or for any decision based on it.

The case studies contained within have been selected solely for the purpose of illustrating the proposed investment process of the Fund. They must not be viewed as investment recommendations or research. The investments have been selected on objective criteria, [are currently indicative,] and there is no warranty such investments will be profitable. In addition, neither the General Partner nor the Fund Advisor shall be responsible for amending, correcting, or updating any information or opinions contained herein. This information does not constitute investment research and should not be relied upon as such.

Prospective investors should in due course inform themselves as to the legal requirements and tax consequences within the countries of their residence, (where applicable, citizenship), domicile and place of business with respect to the acquisition, holding or disposal of interests in the Fund, and any foreign exchange restrictions that may be relevant thereto.
