Important notices

The website contains information about the Personal Portfolio Service and the FundShop Service. The following important notices apply.

1. 1. If you have entered into a contract with Momentum Wealth International Limited, the protections provided to you as an investor will be those applicable under the laws of the Island of Guernsey. Protections may or may not be provided by the rules on investor compensation that apply to the underlying investment funds in which you invest. For example, investors in specific collective investment schemes established in Guernsey that are Class A schemes are eligible for the payment of compensation under The Collective Investment Schemes (Compensation of Investors) Rules 1988 (as amended) made under The Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 1987. Similarly, investors in specific collective investment schemes established in Jersey that are recognised schemes are eligible for the payment of any compensation under The Collective Investment Funds (Jersey) Law 1988. Whether a collective investment scheme is subject to rules that provide investor compensation will be stated in the relevant collective investment scheme's prospectus, which you as an investor may wish to independently consult.
      
      

   2. Neither the Personal Portfolio Service nor the FundShop Service is available to residents, nationals or citizens of the United States of America or US Persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended)) and additional restrictions may apply and are stated in the product terms and conditions.
      
      

   3. Neither the Personal Portfolio Service, the Strategic Portfolios (if any) offered within the Personal Portfolio Service, nor the FundShop Service are collective investment schemes. Each investor will hold a separate portfolio of units or shares in the underlying investment funds. Each portfolio constitutes a restricted range of investments to the extent that not all investment funds available in the market have been included for consideration.
      
      

   4. The investment funds in the Momentum Wealth International Fund List will be selected from:

      • open-ended investment companies that are authorised or regulated by the financial services authority in the jurisdiction of their establishment;

      • collective investment schemes that are authorised or regulated by the financial services authority in the jurisdiction of their establishment; and
        

      • closed-ended investment companies. Since some of the investment funds in the Momentum Wealth International Fund List may be unregulated collective investment schemes for the purposes of the United Kingdom's Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, the promotion of such investment funds is restricted and they are not available to the general public in the United Kingdom. An investor's choice of investment funds from the Momentum Wealth International Fund List may therefore be restricted.
        
        

   5. A fund manager may restrict the categories of people to whom any investment fund may be offered. Depending on the investor's personal circumstances, the investor may therefore be prohibited from applying for, or being provided with detailed information about certain investment funds. In addition, an investor's choice of investment funds may be restricted by the law that applies in either the investor’s location or the investor's country of citizenship, residence or domicile. If the investor has any doubt about whether or not a particular investment fund may be promoted to him/her/it or whether or not the investor may invest in a particular investment fund, the investor should seek advice from his/her/its professional advisor.
      
      

   6. You are reminded that:

      • Past performance of any investment is not necessarily a guide to the future.

      • Fluctuations in the value of the underlying securities and the income from them and changes in interest and exchange rates mean that the value of your investment and any income arising from it may fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed.

      • Deductions of charges and expenses mean that you may not get back the amount you invested.

      
      
   7. The fees charged by Momentum Wealth International Limited and the underlying fund managers are not guaranteed to remain at current levels and may change in the future.
      
      
   8. The risks inherent in investments which are higher-risk investments are greater than for other investments. Such higher-risk investments may be subject to sudden and large or possibly complete falls in value. You could get back nothing at all. Higher risk investments include, but are not limited to, investments in smaller companies (even in developed markets), investments in emerging markets or investments in single country debt, investments in equity investment funds and investments in high yield or non-investment grade debt.
      
      
   9. Your investment portfolio may contain shares or units in funds that invest internationally. Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause your investment and the income arising from it to go down or up.
      
      
   10. There can be no assurance that the performance of the investment funds that you invest in will achieve your stated objectives.
       
       
   11. If an investment fund within your portfolio suspends dealings, your investment may be difficult to realise and it may be difficult to obtain reliable information about the value of your investment or the extent of the risks to which your portfolio may be exposed. Whilst the investment fund may be listed on an exchange, you should be aware that this may not provide an effective trading market for such an investment.
       
       
   12. If an investment fund within your portfolio is a non-daily dealing investment fund, your investment may be difficult to realise other than on one of the investment fund's dealing days and it will not be possible to obtain reliable information about the value of your investment other than as at the valuation points associated with the fund's dealing days.
       
       
   13. If an investment fund within your portfolio is an investment fund that is an unregulated collective investment scheme, the relevant investment fund may not be subject to the same regulatory regime, in some or in all respects, including any compensation arrangements, as is applicable to investment funds that are available to the general public in the United Kingdom. Certain unregulated collective investment schemes may permit a greater degree of leverage than is permitted with investment funds that are available to the general public in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, the underlying volatility of the investment fund will be significantly greater than would have been the case without the permitted leverage. Whilst this leverage gives the investment fund the ability to participate in high returns associated with greater exposure, it also gives increased exposure to the risk of loss.

      • closed-ended investment companies.
