Off-Exchange Transactions. The Transactions and/or Contracts you are entering into with us as counterparty are NOT traded on an exchange, but in the off-exchange/Over-the-Counter (OTC) Market. In general, the Over-The-Counter (OTC) Market is unregulated, there are no limitations on daily price movements (unless imposed by a government or central bank authority), no rules to regulate valuation or settlement procedures, and no minimum financial requirements for market participants. Accordingly, it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price or to assess the exposure to risk.

COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT SCHEMES Collective investment schemes (such as investment funds and open-ended investment companies) invest funds paid by purchasers of units or shares in the collective investment scheme in the various types of asset provided for in their rules or investment plans. As such, collective investment schemes generally allow unit holders and shareholders to achieve a high degree of diversification at a relatively low cost. Open-ended investment funds, for example, allow savers to invest or disinvest by buying or selling fund units on the basis of the value of a unit, plus or minus relevant commissions (the value of the unit being obtained by dividing the value of the entire portfolio managed by a Portfolio, calculated at market prices, by the number of units in circulation). Allowing the Local Manager to purchase units or shares in a collective investment scheme will expose the Investment Adviser to the risks associated with the nature of the financial instruments in which the collective investment scheme invests and, where relevant, their concentration in a particular sector, country, region or asset class. Before allowing the Local Manager to invest in collective investment schemes, the Investment Adviser should make itself fully aware of the risks associated with collective investment schemes, including without limitation, the general risks identified in paragraph 1 above. 6. EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS Exchange traded funds ("ETFs") are closed-ended collective investment schemes, traded as shares on stock exchanges, and typically replicate a stock market index, market sector, commodity or basket of assets.

Off-Exchange Transactions. If the Customer enters into an off-exchange transaction, SFP may be acting as the Customer's counterparty.
