Key Risks
Any return you receive depends on future market performance and is uncertain. The Company does not seek any protection from future market performance so you could lose some or all of your investment. Before purchasing any securities or otherwise investing in the Company, persons viewing this document should ensure that they understand and accept fully the risks risks the Company is exposed to as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report, Key Information Document or Investor Disclosure Document, available at www.augmentum.vc/investors/
Past Performance
Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments may fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed; an investor may receive back less than the original amount invested. This Trust may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within the short to medium term.
Target Market
The Company is suitable for investors seeking an investment that aims to deliver total returns over the longer term (at least five years), is compatible with the needs for retail clients, professional clients and eligible counterparties, and is eligible for all distribution channels.
The Company may not be suitable for investors who are concerned about short-term volatility and performance, have low or no risk tolerance or are looking for capital protection, who are seeking a guaranteed or regular income, or a predictable return profile. The Company does not offer capital protection.
Value Assessment
Frostrow Capital LLP, the Company's Alternative Investment Fund Manager, has conducted an annual Value Assessment on the Company in line with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules set out in the Consumer Duty regulation. The Assessment focuses on the nature of the product, including benefits received and its quality, limitations that are part of the product, expected total costs to clients and target market considerations. Within this, the assessment considers quality of services, performance of the Company (against both benchmark and peers), total fees (including management fees and other fees as applicable to the Company), and also considers whether vulnerable consumers are able to receive fair value from the product. Frostrow Capital LLP concluded that the Company is providing value based on the above assessment.
