IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES - GENERAL EXCHANGE FUND RISKS

The Cache Exchange Funds mentioned within are alternative investments. Regulations require specific eligibility criteria for participation.  Cache Exchange Funds are open to either accredited investors or qualified purchasers as specified in the offering documents. 

Accredited Investor- In the US, individuals can qualify if they have an annual income exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000 jointly with a spouse, for the past two years and expect the same amount in the current year. Alternatively, individuals can also qualify by having a net worth greater than $1 million, either individually or jointly with a spouse, excluding the value of their primary residence.  

A Qualified Purchaser status requires individuals to comply with certain financial thresholds associated with their investments. Specifically, an individual becomes a Qualified Purchaser when they hold at least $5 million in investments. Companies or investment managers or other types of organizations may also fit this category if they have investments valued at $25 million or more.

Please carefully review your subscription agreement and the information contained within the Legal Documents, and review all of the specific offering documents for each investment product which contain important information about the fees you will pay, conflicts of interest, and relevant specific and general risks.  

Exchange Funds defer taxation on investments, but they do not eliminate the need to pay taxes on the sale of assets. Furthermore, to realize the benefits of tax deferral, you need to abide by the restrictions specified in your offering document. Please consult your tax advisor for information specific to your situation.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN EXCHANGE FUNDS

All investments entail some degree of risk. Investing in Exchange Funds involves certain risks and special investment considerations as set forth below. Investing a substantial portion of liquid assets in Exchange Funds exposes you to a greater degree of risk than investing a smaller percentage. 

You should carefully review the risks of investing in Exchange Funds and should evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in Exchange Funds in the context of your overall financial circumstances. Before you make an investment in an Exchange Fund, you should carefully review the offering documents and fully understand the associated risks involved.

Tax Considerations and Risks:

• When you invest in an Exchange Fund by exchanging your stocks or other securities, your taxes are not reduced but rather deferred. You will eventually need to pay taxes when you sell your shares. 
• While you participate in an Exchange Fund, you may owe taxes. If the Exchange Fund sells assets, receives dividends, or liquidates another investor’s interests in the Exchange Fund during the term in which you are invested, the Exchange Fund may allocate a gain from that sale because you are a limited partner in the Exchange Fund, and thus be required to pay the applicable taxes. 
• You are required to hold your interest in an Exchange Fund for the duration of the holding period. During this time, tax rates may fluctuate. In the future if taxes increase, it may be more advantageous to pay taxes you owe today instead of paying taxes at a later time. 
• Tax laws may change in the future, which may impact the favorable tax treatment of an investment in an Exchange Fund. While the benefits may be grandfathered in any new tax regulations, retroactive treatment is not guaranteed.

Investment Considerations and Risks:

• The value of shares held by an Exchange Fund may fluctuate or decline, reflecting a variety of factors. Changes in investor outlook and political and economic environments may have an impact on the Exchange Fund’s value. 
• An Exchange Fund’s performance is not guaranteed. There is no guarantee that an Exchange Fund will outperform the index it is designed to track. Additionally, it is possible that the positions you contribute will outperform the Exchange Fund. 
• Investments in diverse and sometimes complex strategies are sometimes affected in different ways and at different times by changing market conditions. Strategies may at times be unfavorable, compared to market conditions, for periods of time, which may have adverse consequences for the Exchange Fund’s portfolio. 
• When you redeem your shares in an Exchange Fund, you may receive an in-kind redemption in a form other than your initial contribution. 
• Exchange Funds typically have a portfolio of concentrated positions. If one or more of the positions in these holdings experience a significant decline in value, this can have an adverse impact on the overall performance of the Exchange Fund.

Liquidity & Redemption Considerations and Risks:

• Exchange Funds are not as liquid compared to other investment types, such as investing in stocks, ETFs, or other investment vehicles. Therefore, you should be prepared to maintain your position in an Exchange Fund for an extended period of time. If you require liquidity, an investment in an Exchange Fund may not be suitable for you. 
• Investing in an Exchange Fund through Cache Securities will subject you to a two-year lockup period on the shares you contribute to the Exchange Fund or shorter if specified in your offering documents. This means you will be unable to request a redemption for a period of two years. If you have short-term liquidity needs, you should consider carefully whether participation in an Exchange Fund is suitable to your needs. 
• To take advantage of the tax benefits of participating in an Exchange Fund, you are required to hold your shares in an Exchange Fund for at least seven years. 
• If you seek to redeem your shares after the lockup period but before the end of the holding period, you may receive your original contribution at a rate that is the lower of the contributed stock value or the fund’s net asset value. Additionally, early redemptions may be subject to penalty fees. You should carefully review the terms of the Exchange Fund documents before deciding to participate in an Exchange Fund.
• Exchange funds are intended only for eligible, long-term investors who are willing to forego liquidity and put capital at risk for substantial periods of time. Regulations require a minimum holding period to realize the potential advantages. They may also have higher fees than traditional investments. Cache's tax counsel believes that investors who contribute appreciated stocks to the fund will not incur federal income tax liability.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCK AND ETFs

Investments always entail some degree of risk. Be aware that:

• Some investments in stock cannot easily be sold or converted to cash. You should check to see if there is any penalty or charge if you must sell an investment quickly.
• Some investment strategies utilize certain order types to fulfill buy or sell orders. Not all order types are available through Cache Securities. For instance, stop market orders are not available. A stop market order is an order to buy or sell a particular stock at market price if and when the price reaches a specified level. Stop market orders may help reduce risk. By trading stocks through Cache Securities, stop market orders will not be available to you to help you reduce your trading risk. 
• Investments in stock issued by a company with little or no operating history or published information involve greater risk than investing in a public company with an operating history and extensive public information. Stock investments are not federally insured against a loss in market value.
• The stock you own may be subject to tender offers, mergers, reorganizations, or third-party actions that can affect the value of your ownership interest. Pay careful attention to public announcements and information sent to you about such transactions. They involve complex investment decisions. Be sure you fully understand the terms of any offer to exchange or sell your shares before you act. In some cases, such as partial or two-tier tender offers, failure to act can have detrimental effects on your investment.
• The greatest risk in buying shares of stock is having the value of the stock fall to zero.
• Investors should consider the investment objectives and unique risk profile of an ETF carefully before investing. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of other diversified portfolios. Leveraged and Inverse ETFs may not be suitable for all investors and may increase exposure to volatility through the use of leverage, short sales of securities, derivatives and other complex investment strategies.
• Although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the performance of their respective underlying indices, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indices because of expenses and other factors. A prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF and should be read carefully before investing. Customers should obtain prospectuses from issuers and/or their third-party agents who distribute and make prospectuses available for review. ETFs are required to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders at year end. These gains may be generated by portfolio rebalancing or the need to meet diversification requirements. ETF trading will also generate tax consequences.
  

All securities trading, whether in stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), options, exchange funds (“Exchange Funds”), or other investment vehicles, is speculative in nature and involves substantial risk of loss. Cache Securities encourages its Customers to invest carefully and to use the information available at the websites of the SEC at http://www.sec.gov, and FINRA at http://FINRA.org. Customers can review public companies’ filings at the SEC’s EDGAR page. FINRA has published information on how to invest carefully at its website. Cache Securities may also make some of this information available on the website (the “Platform”) operated by Cache Financials Inc. and its affiliates (together, “Cache Financials”).
