Thames River Hillside Apex Fund SPC, Thames River Kingsway Fund Limited, Thames River Kingsway Plus Fund Limited, Nevsky Fund Limited, Thames River Edo Fund Limited, Thames River Longstone Fund Limited, Thames River Sentinel Fund, Thames River Warrior Fund, Thames River Warrior II Fund, Thames River Equity Focus Fund, Thames River Distressed Focus Fund, Thames River 1X Currency Alpha Fund, Thames River Hedge Ventures Limited, Thames River 2X Currency Alpha Fund Limited, Thames River Property Growth & Income Fund Limited and Thames River Tybourne Fund Limited are unregulated collective investment schemes which are not recognised schemes under s.264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Thames River Hedge+ is a cell of Thames River Multi Hedge PCC Limited, listed on the London and Channel Islands Stock Exchanges. The Thames River European Fund, Thames River High Income Fund, Eastern European Fund, Thames River Japan Fund, Global Emerging Markets Fund, Thames River Global Bond Fund (£), Thames River Global Bond Fund (€), Thames River Global Bond Fund ($), European Absolute Return Fund, European Opportunities Fund and Emerging Asia Fund are sub-funds of Traditional Funds plc, an open-ended investment company with segregated liability between sub-funds incorporated in Ireland, authorised by the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority and listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. This company is a recognised collective investment scheme under s.264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act. TR Property Investment Trust plc is a UK investment trust listed on the London Stock Exchange. Many of the protections provided by the United Kingdom regulatory structure may not apply to investments in these funds, including access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and the Financial Ombudsman Service. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Values may fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount you invested. Income from investments may fluctuate. Changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of investments. The unregulated schemes and TR Property Investment Trust plc 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. You should obtain professional advice on taxation where appropriate before proceeding with any investment. You should be aware that investments in higher yielding bonds issued by borrowers with lower credit ratings may result in a greater risk of default and have a negative impact on income and capital value. Income payments may constitute a return of capital in whole or in part. Income may be achieved by foregoing future capital growth. Fund charges may be applied in whole or part to capital, which may result in capital erosion. You should be aware of the additional risks associated with investment in emerging and developing markets. The prices of some investments may be extremely volatile. With the exception of TR Property Investment Trust plc and Thames River Hedge+, 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.
