STAR MM FUNDS PLC with special risks as outlined in the section entitled “Investment Risks in relation to the Funds”. Star MM Funds Plc (the “Company”) is organised as an umbrella fund with segregated liability between sub-funds incorporated in Ireland. According to Swiss law, the Company qualifies as another fund for alternative assets. The Company will invest the majority of its assets in other collective investment schemes which in turn will invest their assets principally in equities and, in addition, in instruments exposed to commodities or precious metals markets. Generally a collective investment scheme in which the Company invests will only be obliged to comply with the investment objectives and investment restrictions applicable to that particular scheme and will not be obliged to comply on a consolidated basis with the investment restrictions applicable to the Company. Furthermore the collective investment schemes in which the Company invests may without any limit acquire equities which are not traded on regulated markets. The collective investment schemes in which the Company invests may be established in unregulated jurisdictions. As a result of these factors the risks of investing in the Company are not comparable to the risks of investing in collective investment schemes which invest directly in equities. Accordingly investors must be willing to bear substantial losses arising from an investment in the Company. The Investment-Manager, however, seeks to minimise these risks by careful selection and monitoring of the collective investment schemes in which investments are made. Notwithstanding the careful selection criteria used, the possibility of a total loss of any investment made in a specific target fund cannot be ruled out. Past performance is no indicator as regards future performance. This presentation does not constitute an offer or invitation to sell, or any solication of any offer to subscribe for or purchase any securities.

BARRACUDA FUNDS (Under Swiss Law and qualified as a fund bearing special risks) Der Barracuda Funds ist ein Umbrella-Fonds, der mehrere Teilvermögen umfassen kann. Jedes Teilvermögen kann direkt oder indirekt eine alternative Anlagestrategie verfolgen, deren Risiken nicht mit denen von Effektenfonds vergleichbar sind. Das gegenwärtig aufgelegte Teilvermögen, BlueSpring, kann als Fund of Funds auch in verschiedene offene oder geschlossene kollektive Kapitalanlagen, die alternative Anlagestrategien verfolgen und alternative Anlagetechniken einsetzen können (auch als "Hedge Funds" bezeichnet) und deren Risiken nicht mit denen von Effektenfonds vergleichbar sind, investieren. Die meisten Hedge Funds unterstehen dem Recht von Ländern, deren rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und Aufsicht nicht dem in der Schweiz herrschenden Standard entsprechen. Anleger der Teilvermögen dieses Umbrella-Fonds müssen bereit und in der Lage sein, Kapitalverluste auf den investierten Beträgen hinzunehmen. BlueSpring investiert den überwiegenden Teil seines Vermögens in andere Anlagefonds, die ihrerseits hauptsächlich in Aktien sowie zusätzlich in Instrumente, die Risiken der Commodities- und Edelmetallmärkte ausgesetzt sind, investieren. Die Anleger werden ausdrücklich auf die im Prospekt (vgl. Ziff. 5.1.7) enthaltenen Risikohinweise aufmerksam gemacht. Die Fondsleitung ist bemüht, diese Risiken durch Diversifikation sowie eine strenge Auswahl der Zielfonds zu minimieren, wobei das Teilvermögen BlueSpring jeweils bis zu 100% seines Vermögens in Zielfonds mit den Anlagestilen Long/Short Equity, Equity Hedge und Relative Value anlegen kann. Es kann trotz strenger Auswahl nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass ein Totalverlust auf einzelnen Zielfonds eintreten kann. Vergangene Performance bietet keine Indikation zur künftigen Performance. Dieser Bericht dient lediglich zur Information und ist kein Kauf- oder Verkaufsangebot des erwähnten Fonds.

CHANGE OF INFORMATION All informations, Performance- and other interpretations, links or other messages can be adjust anytime without information or explication to the user.
PERFORMANCE (Risk warning) The value of the invested capital respectively the quotation of shares of the fund (NAV) and the returns and dividends originating from them are subject to fluctuations and can even be cancelled completely. A positive historical track record is therefore no guarantee of future returns. In particular, preservation of capital cannot be guaranteed. There is no certainty that the invested capital or the value of its shares in the case of a sale or redemption will be equivalent to the initially invested capital. Investments in foreign currencies are furthermore subject to exchange rate risks. Returns are therefore impacted by the volatility of foreign currencies, which can have a negative effect on the performance of the invested capital. The risk and return potential of investments in investment funds is also affected by the asset allocation and investment policy of the respective funds. Investments in technology and emerging markets sectors can be highly volatile and losses can be very high. Neither members of BrunnerInvest AG nor its affiliates can be held responsible for any losses.
LIABILITY EXEMPTION BrunnerInvest AG and its affiliates cannot be held responsible (including negligence and third person liability) for any losses or damages resulting directly or indirectly from information stemming from this website including performance and other graphs, links, messages or risk resulting from financial markets.
