Intended audience and use of information
This site is intended to be used by US institutional investors and consultants only. It is not intended to be used by individuals.
Site contents are for informational purposes only and do not constitute advice of any kind (including investment, tax or legal) or a recommendation to buy or sell any product or service or stock. The products, services and investment strategies referred to are available to organizations based in the United States and are not available to organizations in any jurisdiction where LGIMA is not registered or authorized to engage in any investment business or activity requiring registration or authorization.
If you choose to access information on this site, it is your responsibility to comply with the applicable local, national or international laws and any use of this site outside the United States is entirely at your own risk. You should seek advice on your position from your professional advisor.
Professional investment advice and investment risk
You should consult a professional advisor on your particular financial circumstances and you should not rely on the material on this site. Before making an investment, you should read the appropriate related literature (if applicable) or other terms and conditions as may be appropriate and raise any questions you have on this documentation with your professional advisor.
All investments involve a degree of risk. In particular note:
- Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance.
- In certain strategies, LGIMA might utilize commodity interests and derivative contracts which inherently present substantial risk of loss and a higher risk than other investments strategies. Investors should consider these risks with the understanding that the strategy may not be successful and work in all market conditions.
- Where the investment has exposure to overseas assets, changes in exchange rates between currencies may cause the value of the investment and the level of income to rise and fall.
- The value of investments and income from them may go down as well as up. These investment strategies are designed only for sophisticated investors who are able to bear the risk of partial or full capital loss.
