If you are not a Professional Client or an Eligible Counterparty and are based in the UK please return to www.firstsentierinvestors.com and select Private Investor.

It is important that you read this page. The use of www.firstsentierinvestors.com (this “Website”) is subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Terms”).

 

Important information about access to this Website

This Website and the information on it is communicated from the United Kingdom by First Sentier Investors (UK) Funds Limited (“First Sentier Investors”), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom. It is not directed at or made available to Retail Clients. This Website (and the information on it) is directed only at persons who are Professional Clients or Eligible Counterparties for the purposes of UK law 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 outside the United Kingdom 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 (UK) Funds Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (the “FCA”). First Sentier Investor’s registered office is at 15 Finsbury Circus, London EC2M 7EB. The information on this Website constitutes a financial promotion for the purposes of the rules and guidance of the Financial Conduct Authority Rules (the "FCA Rules") 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 the United Kingdom. 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.

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.
