Regulatory Disclosures
ECM Investment is the trading name of ECM Investment Management Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority. ECM Global Macro Fund Ltd (the “Fund”) is an unregulated collective investment scheme which is not recognised under s.264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Therefore, many of the protections provided by the United Kingdom regulatory structure may not apply to investments in the Fund, including access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and the Financial Ombudsman Service.
The Fund is organised as an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands, the investment activities of the Fund are not regulated or otherwise overseen by either the Cayman Island’s government or any other Financial Regulator.
As the Fund is an unregulated collective investment scheme, promotion in the UK is restricted by Section 238 of the Financial Services and Markets 2000 (the "Act"). Shares may not be offered or sold in the United Kingdom other than to investors of a kind described in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001, namely: firms authorised to carry on investment business under the Act; and institutional and other investors who have experience of alternative, unregulated investments such as hedge funds. (Please refer to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) Conduct of Business Rules Chapter 3 Annex 5 or click here to access FSA Definitions.
Distribution of shares in the Funds may be restricted in other jurisdictions and you should satisfy yourself of investment, tax and other relevant requirements of the jurisdiction in which you are domiciled before making any investment. In particular, the Funds have not been registered under the United States Securities Act 1933 or the Investment Company Act 1940, consequently they cannot be offered for sale or be sold in the USA, its territories, possessions or protectorates under its jurisdiction, not to nationals, citizens, or residents in any of those areas. However, shares may be sold under a private placement to "qualified purchasers".
Investment is limited to certain types of investors and hedge funds are not generally considered suitable for private investors. You will be asked to read additional risk warnings and confirm your eligibility before being given access to further information on the hedge funds.
Risk Warnings
Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. The value of investments can go down as well as up and the value of an investor's investment may be extremely volatile and be subject to sudden and substantial falls.
Investment in the unregulated schemes on this site is intended for sophisticated investors who can accept the risks associated with such an investment, including a substantial or complete loss of their investment. Such schemes are permitted to, and use, gearing as an investment strategy. The effect of such gearing is that movements in the price of the schemes will be more volatile than the movements in the prices of their underlying investments.
Income from investments may fluctuate. Changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of investments. Fund charges may be applied in whole or part to capital, which may result in capital erosion. The funds are not traded on an exchange or recognised market and in common with some of their investments may not be readily realisable. This factor can make it difficult to obtain independent verification of the investment value and the extent of the risks to which they are exposed. Investors should be fully aware of the restrictions on transfer of investments.
The Shares of each class of the Fund are only suitable for sophisticated investors who do not require immediate liquidity for their investment, for whom an investment in one or more classes of Shares of the Fund does not constitute a complete investment programme and who fully understand and are willing to assume the risks involved in such an investment.
The foregoing list of risk factors is not complete and reference should be made to the Fund Offering Memorandum.
