Risk Disclosure
This material is for information purposes only, is confidential and may not be reproduced or distributed except as otherwise provided herein. All information provided herein confidential and may not be reproduced or is as of the date set forth on the cover page (unless otherwise specified) and is subject to modification, change or supplement in the sole discretion of HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS”) without notice to you. This information is neither complete nor exact and is provided solely as reference material with respect to the Fund referenced herein. Defined terms are as set forth within.
This material does not constitute an offering of any security, product, service or fund, including the Fund, for which an offer can be made only by the Fund’s Confidential Offering Memorandum (the “Confidential Memorandum”). The terms and risk factors of the Fund are set out in its Confidential Memorandum which is available to qualified prospective investors upon request. The contents hereof are qualified in their entirety by the Confidential Memorandum and subscription agreements of the Fund.
The purchase of interests in the Fund is suitable only for sophisticated investors for which an investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program and who fully understand and are willing to assume the risks involved in the Fund’s investment program. Generally, the Fund would include investors who are “Accredited Investors” under the Securities Act of 1933, “Qualified Purchasers” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and “Qualified Eligible Persons” under Regulation 4.7 of the Commodity Exchange Act.
The interests have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws or the laws of any foreign jurisdiction. The interests will be offered and sold under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and other exemptions of similar import in the laws of the states and other jurisdictions where the offering will be made. The Fund will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The interests are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under applicable statutes. In addition, such interests may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated, in whole or in part, except as provided in the Fund’s organizational documents. Accordingly, investors should be aware that they will be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the interests for an indefinite period of time. There is no secondary market for an investor’s interests in the Fund and none is expected to develop. There is no obligation on the part of any person to register the interests under any statutes.
The performance results of certain economic indices and certain information concerning economic trends contained herein are based on or derived from information provided by independent third-party sources. The Fund believes that such information is accurate and that the sources from which it has been obtained are reliable. The Fund cannot guarantee the accuracy of such information, however, and has not independently verified the assumptions on which such information is based.
Certain information contained in this material constitutes “forward-looking statements,” which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue” or “believe,” or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology.
Due to various risks and uncertainties, actual events or results or the actual performance of the Fund may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking statements.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Performance is estimated and unaudited. While this summary highlights important data, it does not purport to capture all dimensions of risk. The methodology used to aggregate and analyze data may be adjusted periodically. The results of previous analyses may differ as a result of those adjustments. The Fund is an actively managed portfolio and regional, sector and strategy allocations are subject to ongoing revision. HPS has made assumptions that it deems reasonable and used the best information available in producing calculations above.
Please note the following Risks: Investors are strongly urged to carefully review the sections in the Confidential Memorandum titled “Risk Factors” and “Conflicts of Interest.” Among the risks involved in an investment in the Fund are as follows:
General/Loss of capital. An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s return objectives will be realized and investors in the Fund could lose up to the full amount of their invested capital. The Fund’s fees and expenses may offset the Fund’s trading profits. Limited liquidity. An investment in the Fund provides limited liquidity since withdrawal rights are limited and interests are not freely transferable or redeemable. There is no secondary market for the interests in the Fund and none is expected to develop. Dependence on manager. The fund manager has total trading authority over the Fund. The use of a single advisor could result in lack of diversification and consequently, higher risk. Decisions made by the fund manager may cause the Fund to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities on which it would otherwise have capitalized. Volatility. Investment techniques used may include the use of leverage and derivative instruments such as futures, options and short sales, which amplify the possibilities for both profits and losses and may add volatility to the Fund’s performance. Potential conflicts of interest. The payment of a performance-based fee to the fund manager may create an incentive for the fund manager to cause the Fund to make riskier or more speculative investments than it would in the absence of such incentive. Valuation. Because of overall size or concentration in particular markets of positions held by the Fund or other reasons, the value at which its investments can be liquidated may differ, sometimes significantly, from the interim valuations arrived at by the Fund. Non-U.S. securities. The Fund will invest in foreign securities, which may include exposure to currency fluctuation, reduced access to reliable information, less stringent accounting standards, illiquidity of securities and markets, higher commissions and fees and local economic or political instability. Absence of regulatory oversight. The Fund will not register as an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 or similar laws or regulations. Accordingly, the provisions of such laws and regulations will not be applicable.
The foregoing risk factors do not purport to be a complete explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the Fund. Investors should read the entire Confidential Memorandum before making investment determinations with respect to the Fund.
