Website are not available, and prospectuses and other offering materials in
respect of them will not be distributed, to any person resident in the
territory of any jurisdiction where such distribution would be contrary to
local law or regulation.
The information on this Website does
not constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such an
offer or solicitation is not authorised or to any person to whom it is unlawful
to make such an offer or solicitation. Prospective investors in the Funds
should inform themselves as to applicable legal and regulatory requirements
(including in relation to exchange controls and taxation) in the countries of
their citizenship, residence or domicile. TT and its partners and directors
(as applicable) disclaim all responsibility if you access or download any

Website may constitute a financial promotion for the purposes of the FCA Rules.
4. Accuracy
of Information
The information contained on this
Website (including any expression of opinion or forecast) has been obtained
from, or is based on, sources believed by TT to be reliable, but is not
guaranteed or warranted as to its current validity, accuracy or completeness.
Such information is provided without obligation on the part of TT, its partners
and directors (as applicable) or employees, and on the understanding that
any person who acts upon it or changes his investment position in reliance on
it does so entirely at his own risk.
Opinions expressed represent the
opinions of TT at the date of publication only, reflecting prevailing market
conditions and certain assumptions (which may not prove to be valid), and are
subject to change.
Information posted on this Website
is current only as at the date it is first posted and may no longer be true or
complete when viewed by you. All information contained on this Website
may be changed or amended without prior notice.
5. Material
Interests
TT, its directors and/or its employees may have holdings in the Funds and may
otherwise be interested in transactions that you effect in those Funds.
6. No Advice
This Website is published solely for
informational purposes on the basis that you make your own investment
decisions. This Website has no regard to the specific investment
objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any person.
The
information contained on this Website is not intended to constitute, and should
not be construed as, a personal recommendation or investment advice.
Potential investors in the Funds
should seek their own independent financial advice. TT neither provides

constitute "MiFID or equivalent third country business" for the

7. Risk
Factors
Investment
in the Funds and other investments referred to on this Website involves
risk. The value of investments and the income deriving from them may go
down as well as up. You may not get back the original amount invested and
may lose all of your investment.
Past
performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
To the extent that this Website
contains any indications as to future performance, such forecasts are not a
reliable indicator of future performance.
Exchange rates may cause the value
of overseas investments and the income deriving from them to rise and
fall. Tax assumptions may change if the law changes and the tax treatment
applicable to you will depend on your individual circumstances and may be
subject to change in the future. You should consult your own tax adviser
in order to understand the tax consequences of an investment in a Fund.
The risk factors set out above are
not complete and you must refer to the relevant offering documents with respect
to the risks attaching to investment in individual Funds.
8. UCITS
Funds
The UCITS Funds may be registered
or otherwise approved for distribution to the public in one or more European
jurisdictions. The fact of such a registration or approval, however, does
not mean that any regulator has determined that such UCITS Fund is suitable for
all investors. Investors should continue to consider the terms of
investment in any such UCITS Fund carefully and seek professional investment
advice before taking any decision to invest in a UCITS Fund.
Where this Website refers to a UCITS
Fund, this Website will also provide details of where and in which languages
the prospectus and key investor information document, as they may be amended
from time to time, may be obtained or how such documents may be accessed.
The distribution of shares of a
UCITS Fund in Switzerland will be exclusively made to, and directed at,
qualified investors (the "Qualified Investors"), as defined in the
Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act of 23 June 2006, as amended
("CISA") and its implementing ordinance.

the public in the United States.
