Risks of Investing in Alternative Investments including Hedge Funds
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT CAREFULLY
When considering alternative investments, such as hedge funds and hedge funds of funds (collectively referenced in this document as “Hedge Funds”), you should consider various risks including the fact that some alternative investments use leverage and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees, and in many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager.
With respect to alternative investments, such as Hedge Funds, in general, you should be aware that:
With respect to an investment in a Hedge Fund, you should be aware that:
A Hedge Funds’ Offering Memorandum or a registered money manager’s disclosure document (Form ADV Part 2A) describes the various risks and conflicts of interest relating to an investment and to its operations. You should read those documents carefully to determine whether an investment is suitable for you in light of, among other things, your financial situation, need for liquidity, tax situation, and other investments.
Keep in mind that past performance of any investment is not necessarily indicative of future results. You should only commit risk capital to any investment product. Alternative investment products, including Hedge Funds, are not for everyone and entail risks that are different from more traditional investments. You should obtain legal and tax advice from your appropriate advisors before deciding to invest.
GAVION, LLC Business Continuity Planning
Gavion, LLC (“GAVION”) has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity
plan.
Contacting Us – If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at 901-761-8080, you should use our alternative number, 901-568-9937, 901-355-5456 or 901-517-7642.
Our Business Continuity Plan – We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.
Our business continuity plan addresses: data backup and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees,and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; and regulatory reporting.
Varying Disruptions – Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within 24 hours. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site(s) outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within 3 business days. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, and notify you through a message on our regular number.
