INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES OF THE APPLICABLE iDIRECT FUND (THE “FUND”) BEFORE INVESTING. THIS AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND IS CONTAINED IN THE FUND’S PROSPECTUS, WHICH CAN BE OBTAINED BY CALLING [iDPE: 877-562-1686 | iDPC: 833-640-7393 | iDHF: 833-446-5656]. THE FUND’S PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND
The discussion of the various risks associated with the Fund and the Shares (as defined and described in the Fund’s Prospectus) are not intended to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the Fund. The Fund should be considered a speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk and may involve loss of capital, up to the entire amount of a shareholder’s investment. The Fund does not currently intend to list its Shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for its Shares in the foreseeable future, if ever.
iDirect Private Markets Fund
The nature of private equity can result in a lack of transparency due to limited information, and the risk of loss is increased due to speculative strategies employed by the Fund, including investing assets in private equity, private credit, early stage and other private investments which may not perform as expected. More importantly, Fund and underlying fund shares will not be listed on any national securities exchange and are subject to restrictions on transferability, thereby making them illiquid.
Other risks include, but are not limited to, market risk, concentration risk, and potentially less diversification due to the substantial portion of Fund assets invested in manager-specific private equity. The Fund is also subject to the risks of leverage, higher fees and additional layers of expenses, as well as the potential for greater volatility due to Fund assets invested in a limited number of securities, or a focus on particular sectors and geographical regions.
Assets invested in foreign securities exposes the Fund to various geopolitical risks and currency fluctuations typically not applicable in the U.S., and this risk is magnified for emerging markets. The potential for adverse changes in business and tax laws involves tax risk and heightened regulatory scrutiny. The lack of a secondary market for trading private equity subjects the Fund to liquidity risks and may result in greater price risk and potential for inaccuracies in determining fair market value of investments held in the portfolio. Investments acquired in reliance on imperfect information increases counterparty risk and liabilities, and anticipated value may not be realized.
iDirect Private Credit Fund
The nature of private credit can result in a lack of transparency due to limited information, and the risk of loss is increased due to speculative strategies employed by the Fund, including investing assets in private equity, private credit, early stage and other private investments which may not perform as expected. More importantly, Fund and underlying fund shares will not be listed on any national securities exchange and are subject to restrictions on transferability, thereby making them illiquid.
Other risks include, but are not limited to, market risk, concentration risk, and potentially less diversification due to the substantial portion of Fund assets invested in manager-specific private credit. The Fund is also subject to the risks of leverage, higher fees and additional layers of expenses, as well as the potential for greater volatility due to Fund assets invested in a limited number of securities, or a focus on particular sectors and geographical regions.
iDirect Multi-Strategy Fund
An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that the investor’s entire investment may be lost. The Fund’s performance depends upon the selection of a portfolio of investment vehicles commonly referred to as “hedge funds” (the “Portfolio Funds”) by the Fund’s investment adviser, the allocation of offering proceeds thereto and the performance of the Portfolio Funds. The Portfolio Funds’ investment activities involve the risks associated with hedge fund investments generally. Risks include adverse changes in national or international economic conditions, adverse local market conditions, the financial conditions of Portfolio Funds, changes in the availability or terms of financing, changes in interest rates, exchange rates, corporate tax rates and other operating expenses, environmental laws and regulations, and other governmental rules and fiscal policies, energy prices, changes in the relative popularity of certain industries or the availability of purchasers to acquire companies, and dependence on cash flow, as well as acts of God, uninsurable losses, war, terrorism, earthquakes, hurricanes or floods and other factors including environmental negligence which are beyond the control of the Fund or the Portfolio Funds.
Other risks include, but are not limited to concentration risk among Portfolio Funds, availability and liquidity of Portfolio Funds, general economic and market conditions, unexpected volatility or lack of liquidity and, limited diligence and transparency of Portfolio Funds. The Fund is also subject to the risks of leverage, higher fees and additional layers of expenses, as well as the potential for greater volatility due to Fund assets invested in a limited number of Portfolio Funds.
