Such professional investors are aware that a measure of risk is involved in investing in some of these funds/mutual funds in view of their characteristics and/or the particular degree of expertise and knowledge required for investment in such funds/mutual funds.


By registering, visitors registering as professional investors acknowledge and accept that Dexia AM supplies access to the part of its website which supplies information concerning the full range of funds and/or mutual funds for information purposes. This means registered professional investors have access to information concerning funds/mutual funds which:

(2) cannot be traded in their jurisdiction, or

For this reason, this website does not comment on the ability of visitors to this website registered as professional investors to invest in such funds/mutual funds on the basis of their location and/or capacity and the applicable laws, regulations and fiscal provisions.

Neither the information nor the results supplied to visitors are intended to encourage the latter to undertake a particular transaction, or advise in favour of or against a particular transaction.
