Risk Disclosure.
An investment in a Genesis fund involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for accredited investors who can bear the loss of their entire investment. The points below summarize material risks.
General
An investment in a private fund managed by Genesis Global Partners Holdings (“Genesis”) involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for sophisticated, accredited investors who can bear the loss of their entire investment. Prospective investors should review the relevant private placement memorandum (“PPM”), limited partnership agreement, and subscription documents in full and consult their own legal, tax, and financial advisors before investing. The summary below is not exhaustive.
Risk of Loss
All investments carry the risk of loss, including the possible loss of the entire principal invested. There is no guarantee that any fund will achieve its investment objective or that target return ranges will be realized. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Market and Economic Risk
Fund performance is exposed to general market, economic, geopolitical, regulatory, and interest-rate conditions in the United States and abroad. Sudden or sustained adverse market movements may materially and negatively affect fund value. Periods of elevated volatility, illiquidity, or market dislocation may amplify losses.
Active Management Risk
The funds are actively managed. Investment results depend on the discretionary judgement and skill of the manager. Errors in analysis, execution, timing, or risk assessment may result in underperformance or loss. There is no assurance that the manager’s investment process will be successful.
Derivatives Risk
The funds may use options, futures, and other derivatives. Derivatives involve risks distinct from, and in some cases greater than, the risks of investing directly in the underlying securities, including counterparty risk, leverage risk, basis risk, mispricing risk, and the potential for losses substantially in excess of the amount invested in a given derivative position.
Leverage Risk
To the extent the funds employ leverage, including through derivatives or borrowing, gains and losses are magnified. Adverse market movements against a leveraged position may result in losses exceeding the original capital committed and may force liquidation at unfavorable prices.
Concentration Risk
The strategy may concentrate capital in a limited number of positions, sectors, or themes. Concentration may produce greater volatility and a higher risk of loss than a more diversified portfolio.
Liquidity and Lockup Risk
Fund interests are illiquid. A twelve-month lockup applies from the date capital is accepted, and redemptions thereafter are subject to structured liquidity windows, advance notice requirements, gates, and suspensions as described in the offering documents. There is no public market for fund interests, and they may not be transferred without manager consent and compliance with applicable securities law.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Positions in foreign exchange or non-U.S.-dollar instruments are subject to currency fluctuations, sovereign risk, capital controls, and differing regulatory regimes that may adversely affect returns.
Counterparty and Custodial Risk
The funds rely on prime brokers, custodians, exchanges, clearinghouses, and other counterparties. The insolvency, default, fraud, operational failure, or regulatory action against any such party could result in delay or loss of fund assets.
Regulatory and Tax Risk
The funds operate under exemptions provided by Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Changes in U.S, securities, commodities, tax, or other laws and regulations — or in the interpretation or enforcement thereof — could adversely affect the funds, the manager, or investors. Tax treatment of fund investments may change and may differ by investor; consult a qualified tax advisor.
Cybersecurity and Operational Risk
The manager and its service providers depend on information systems that are subject to cyberattacks, data breaches, system failures, and human error. Such events could result in financial loss, disruption of operations, regulatory penalties, or compromise of confidential information.
Conflicts of Interest
The manager and its principals may face actual or perceived conflicts of interest, including with respect to allocation of investment opportunities, fees, and time. Material conflicts and the procedures used to address them are described in the offering documents.
Fees and Expenses
Fund fees and expenses, including management fees, performance allocations, and pass-through expenses, will reduce returns. The performance allocation may create an incentive for the manager to make riskier investments than would be the case without such an allocation.
No Guarantee
Target returns, projections, and forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may not be realized. No representation is made that any investor will or is likely to achieve returns similar to those described, and actual results may differ materially.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document and other materials may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S, federal securities laws. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties; actual outcomes may differ materially from those expressed or implied. The manager undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.
Reliance on Offering Documents
This Risk Disclosure is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed risk factors set forth in the relevant fund’s offering documents. In the event of any conflict between this summary and the offering documents, the offering documents control.
