RISK WARNINGS

You should not rely on any information or opinions contained in this presentation in making an investment or other decision but should obtain appropriate and specific professional advice of your own.

Nothing contained in this presentation constitutes or should be construed to constitute investment, legal, tax or other advice. The information supplied is not and in no way should be construed to constitute a recommendation with respect to the purchase or sale of any investment.

In particular:

Market price may not be fully reflected in underlying net asset value. The value of the investment may go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the full amount invested. Any shares held (even if listed on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities) are likely to be illiquid and shareholders may have difficulty in selling them. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.

There can be no guarantee that investment objectives can be achieved. Portfolio investments in smaller companies typically involves a higher degree of risk. There are potential difficulties in acquiring, valuing, and disposing of underlying investments and information for determining the value or risks may also not be available. The value of the portfolio companies depends on stock market conditions.

Existing tax rules and legislation may change over time and changes can be retrospective. The value of any tax reliefs depends on the personal circumstances of the investors, who should consult their own tax advisers before making an investment.

Whilst the contents of this presentation are provided in good faith for information purposes only, no representation or warranty, express or implied is given by Gresham House Asset Management Limited or by any of its directors, members, or employees as to its accuracy or completeness or that it is up to date, and it should not be relied on as such.

To the fullest extent allowed by law and the rules and regulations of the FCA, Gresham House Asset Management Limited and its directors, members and employees shall not be liable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise howsoever, for any losses, damages, costs or expenses of whatever nature (including (without limitation) any consequential, indirect or unforeseeable loss or loss of bargain, opportunity or profit) incurred or suffered by you or any third party arising out of or in connection with the use of the contents of this presentation.
