There are no distribution restrictions other than the fact that investments in the fund can only be made by "well informed" investors.

To qualify as a "well informed" investor you must be either:

• An Institutional Investor
• A Professional Investor
• Any other investor who has confirmed in writing that they adhere to the status of a "well informed" investor and who:
  • Either invests a minimum of EURO 125,000 in the specialised investment fund;
  • Or who has an appraisal from an EU bank, an investment firm or a management company certifying that they have the appropriate expertise, experience and knowledge to adequately understand the investment made in the fund.

This last category gives Sophisticated Investors (including High Net Worth Individuals) access to the flexible and tax attractive regime of SIFs.

N.B. It should be noted that local distribution restrictions may apply.
