Important information about access to this website

This Website and the information on it is communicated by First Sentier Investors (Ireland) Limited (“First Sentier Investors”), which is authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. It is not directed at or made available to Retail Clients. This Website uses cookies as described in paragraph 16 of these Terms and by agreeing to these Terms you consent to the use of cookies as described in that paragraph.

This Website (and the information on it) is directed only at persons who are Professional Clients or Eligible Counterparties for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”) or as otherwise defined under applicable local regulations and at whom this Website (and any information on it) may lawfully be directed in any relevant jurisdiction. Access to this Website is not open to persons resident in, or citizens of any territory where, to allow such access would require any registration, filing, application for any licence or approval or other steps to be taken by First Sentier Investors in order to comply with local laws or other regulatory requirements in such overseas territory. Please contact First Sentier Investors if you require any further information on your status.

Following a UK departure from the European Union, First Sentier Investors ICVC (“OEIC”) has ceased to qualify as a UCITS scheme and is instead an Alternative Investment Fund (“AIF”) for European Union purposes under the terms of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (2011/61/EU). Accordingly, no marketing activities relating to the OEIC are being carried-out by First Sentier Investors in the European Union (or the additional EEA states) and the OEIC is not available for distribution in those jurisdictions. This website does not constitute an offer or invitation or investment recommendation to distribute or purchase shares in the OEIC in the European Union (or the additional EEA states).

About this Website: This Website is owned, maintained, operated and communicated by First Sentier Investors (Ireland) Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “CBI”). First Sentier Investor’s registered office is at 70 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland number 629188 (CBI registration number C182306).. The information on this Website constitutes a financial promotion and an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity and/or a marketing communication.

This Website contains information about investment funds which are offered by First Sentier Investors (the “Funds”) and which are registered, or have otherwise been notified, for public distribution and marketing in certain jurisdictions in the European Union / EEA. Please note that the fact of such registration does not mean that any regulator has determined that such Funds are suitable for all or any investors. The Funds referred to on this Website may not be suitable investments for you and you should therefore seek professional investment advice before making a decision to invest in any of the Funds.

A prospectus and Key Investor Information Document (“KIID”) for each of the Funds is available on this Website. Contact details of the facilities where such documents are available are also set out on the web-page for the relevant Fund.

Selling restrictions

The distribution of the information on this Website may be restricted by law in certain countries. You have selected a country within the European Union as your country of residence. This Website, and the information on it, are not addressed to any person resident in the territory of any country or jurisdiction where such distribution would be contrary to local law or regulation.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested and may lose all of their investment. Exchange rate changes may cause the value of overseas investments to rise or fall. To the extent that any information on this Website refers to a particular tax treatment, such treatment depends on the individual circumstances of the investor and may be subject to change in the future.
