The following definitions have been used for the purposes of the Terms and Conditions specified herein:

“website”: all web pages designed and managed by RAM, as well as any and all information, services, products, software, tools, functions and links available thereon;

“information”: including, but not limited to, all data, prices, opinions, calculation results, technical analyses, articles, charts and other elements available on the website;

In the event of one of the Terms and Conditions being void, cancelled or rendered otherwise invalid, the validity of the remaining Terms and Conditions shall not be affected or impaired. In all other instances, the Terms and Conditions as well as the use of the website are exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with Swiss law.

RAM offers on its website information relating specifically to collective investment schemes (hereinafter also called “investment funds”). Access to and use of this information is governed by the following terms and conditions (hereinafter also called the “Terms and Conditions”).

This Site contains information on investment funds registered and managed in different jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to ascertain that you are authorised to access to investment funds pages.

You will be required to indicate your place of residence before being allowed to access information relating to the said investment funds. Please note that access by private investors to the said information shall be limited to the investment funds authorised for sale to the public in their country of residence. Consequently, your access is limited to funds registered for sale in your country of residence.

Furthermore, the investment funds information is not addressed to U.S. Persons. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you declare that you are not a U.S. Person. If you are a U.S. Person, you are not authorised to access this information.

Furthermore, YOU UNDERTAKE TO READ CAREFULLY THE LATEST PROSPECTUSES, IN PARTICULAR THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEY CONTAIN, the Key Investor Information document (KIID), THE REGULATIONS AND THE ANNUAL AND INTERIM REPORTS relating to the investment funds you wish to invest in. In this connection, you can order the latest prospectuses, the regulations and the annual and interim report from RAM or from the management companies of the investment funds or their representatives in each country where the funds are incorporated or registered, or find them on their respective websites.

The value of investments may be subject to fluctuations and, under certain circumstances, investors may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not an indication or guarantee of the future performance of the investment. The risk factors are described in the fund prospectuses. The performance shown does not take account of any commissions or costs charged when subscribing to or redeeming units. For hedged shareclasses, only the investment fund's consolidation currency is hedged into the shareclass currency. Foreign exchange exposure, resulting from assets in the portfolio which are not denominated in the consolidation currency, can remain. Finally, changes in foreign-exchange rates may also cause the value of investments to go up or down.
