Risk Disclosure
Risks Associated with our Clients’ Investments
General Investment Risk: All investments in securities, including for our clients, risk the loss of capital. We believe that our clients’ more diversified investment portfolios moderate this risk. However, there can be no assurance that our clients’ programs will be successful.
Market Risk: Overall securities market risks will affect the value of individual instruments in which we invest and the market price of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. U.S. securities markets may additionally be impacted by negative external and or direct and indirect economic factors such as global trade policies, economic growth and market conditions, interest rates, war, terrorism, natural and environmental disasters, public health emergencies and political events. The adverse impact of any one or more of these events on the market value of fund investments could be significant and cause losses.
Market Disruption Risk: Recently, the onset of an infectious respiratory disease called COVID-19, caused by a novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 has had, and is expected to continue to have, a severely adverse impact on the economies of many nations, individual companies and the market in general. The Adviser cannot predict the likelihood of occurrence or the effects of similar pandemics and epidemics in the future on the U.S. and other economies, or the investments in the clients’ portfolio or the potential for success of the portfolio. Certain markets have experienced temporary closures, extreme volatility, severe losses, and reduced liquidity and increased trading costs. These events will have an impact on the portfolio and its investments and could impact the ability to purchase or sell securities. Other infectious illness outbreaks in the future may result in similar impacts.
Developments in Financial Markets: Developments in the global financial markets over the last decade illustrate that the securities markets can exhibit extraordinary uncertainty. In light of such uncertainty the potential accompanying weakening of the financial services industry, Conservest’s’ clients brokers (and their respective affiliates) and other financial institutions’ financial condition may be adversely affected, and they may become subject to legal, regulatory, reputational and other unforeseen risks that could have a material adverse effect on our clients’ business and operations.
Execution Risks and Trading Errors: Conservest trading activities for our clients utilizes brokers for securities transactions that are selected by our clients. Conservest seeks best execution and has trained execution and operational staff devoted to executing, settling and clearing such trades. However, in light of the complexity and diversity involved, some slippage, errors and miscommunications with brokers and counterparties may occur and may result in losses to our clients. Conservest will evaluate the merits of potential claims for damage against brokers and counterparties who are at fault and, to the extent practicable, will seek to recover losses from those parties. Conservest may, in certain circumstances, choose to forego pursuing claims against brokers and counterparties on behalf of our clients for any reason including, but not limited to, the cost of pursuing claims relative to the likely amount of any recovery and the maintenance of its business relationships with brokers and counterparties. In addition, Conservest may be solely or partly responsible for errors in placing, processing, and settling trades that result in losses to our clients. Conservest will reimburse our clients for the net amount of any losses caused by Conservest’s own gross negligence in placing, processing or settling trades.
Bankruptcy of Broker-Dealers: Any cash and securities maintained by our clients at accounts at U.S. broker-dealers registered with the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) are protected to a limited degree by the U.S. Securities Investor Protection Corporation (the “SIPC”). In the event of the bankruptcy of a broker-dealer, if sufficient funds are not available in the broker-dealer’s customer accounts to satisfy claims, the reserve funds of the SIPC will be used to supplement the distribution, up to a ceiling of $500,000 per customer, including a maximum of $250,000 for cash claims. Therefore, our clients could be at risk of loss for any amounts in excess of the SIPC limit to the extent that the broker-dealer does not maintain insurance sufficient to cover any amounts owed.
Political, Economic and Other Conditions: Our clients’ investments may be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or political events that are beyond their control. For example, a stock market break, continued threats of terrorism, the outbreak of hostilities involving the U.S. or other countries, or the death of a major political figure may have significant adverse effects on general economic conditions, market conditions, market liquidity and our clients’ investment results. Additionally, a serious pandemic, such as the current COVID-19 crisis (see “Market Disruption Risk” above), or a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, could severely disrupt the global, national and/or regional economies and/or markets. Other factors, such as changes in U.S. federal or state tax laws, U.S. federal or state securities laws, bank regulatory policies or accounting standards, may make investments or dispositions less desirable. Similarly, legislative acts, rulemaking, adjudicatory or other activities of the SEC, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, the New York Stock Exchange, FINRA or other governmental or quasi-governmental bodies, agencies and regulatory organizations may make the business of our clients less attractive. A negative impact on economic fundamentals and consumer confidence may negatively impact market value, increase market volatility and cause credit spreads to widen, each of which could have an adverse effect on the investment performance of our clients.
Cybersecurity Risks: Conservest’s information and technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches, usage errors by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. Although Conservest has implemented various measures to manage risks relating to these types of events, if these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, Conservest may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in the operations of Conservest and our clients and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to investors (and the beneficial owners of investors). Such a failure could harm the reputation of Conservest, or our clients, subject any such entity and their respective affiliates to legal claims and otherwise affect their business and financial performance.
