This document is not an offer or solicitation, and may not be used or relied upon in connection with any offer or solicitation, with respect to the Fund. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only through the Fund’s final Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and Subscription Agreement (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), which will be made available upon request to qualified investors.

Prospective investors should carefully review the Governing Documents, including the risks and conflicts of interest described therein, before making an investment decision with respect to the Fund. Investors may lose all or a substantial amount of their investment in the Fund as a result of identified and/or unidentified risks.

No person has been authorized to make any statement regarding the Fund other than as contained in the Governing Documents, and no such statements, if made, may be relied upon. Prospective investors must rely solely on the terms of the Governing Documents in determining whether to invest in the Fund. The information set forth herein is not part of or supplemental to the Governing Documents and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information in the Governing Documents.

The Firm reserves the right to modify any of the terms of the offering and/or the limited partnership interests described herein. The contents of this document are not to be considered legal, business, tax or other advice, and each prospective investor should consult its own attorney and business, tax and other advisors as to legal, business, tax and other matters related to an investment in the Fund.

Certain returns set forth herein are target returns that do not represent the performance of any actual investment or investment portfolio and, accordingly, are hypothetical. The preparation of hypothetical returns is based on underlying assumptions that are not applicable to non-hypothetical performance. There can be no assurance that such assumptions are reasonable or fully stated herein, and the use of different assumptions would produce different results. The preparation of hypothetical returns also includes the use of subjective judgments. For the foregoing and other similar reasons, the comparability of hypothetical performance to the actual performance of any fund or other investment vehicle is limited, and prospective investors should not unduly rely on any such information in making an investment decision. Nothing contained herein should be considered a prediction or projection of future performance. There is no assurance that the Fund will make any profit or will be able to avoid incurring significant losses.

References herein to “expertise,” any party being an “expert,” or awards received, degrees conferred or other particular skill sets are based solely on the belief of the Firm and/or are provided only to indicate proficiency as compared to an average person. Such references should not be construed or relied upon as an indication of future performance or other future outcomes. Similarly, references herein to “unique” and similar expressions are also based solely on the belief of the Firm and/or are not intended to refer to an exclusively singular practice but to the possession of characteristics of distinctiveness not found universally in the market.

Any references herein to the expertise of, or to awards conferred on, any Firm Party are included only to indicate proficiency as compared to the average person and in no way modify the exculpation or standard of care provisions in the Governing Documents. Similarly, the term “unique” and other similar expressions are based solely on the views of the Firm and are not intended to refer to an exclusively singular practice.

Certain statements in this document constitute forward-looking statements, which may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “seek,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “target,” “plan” or “believe” or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology.
