Financial services and investment funds in the UK are overseen and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

Our funds are regulated under the FSA’s Collective Investment Schemes Sourcebook ("COLL") Regulations. They are generally only available for distribution to the public in the UK and the Channel Islands and, in these jurisdictions, where appropriate registration formalities have been complied with.

Under no circumstances should the information contained in this website be considered an offer or solicitation to deal in investments in any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation or distribution would be unlawful, including, but not limited to, the USA.

The provision by us of information which may be viewed and downloaded in countries where distribution of our funds is not lawful is not to be taken as an attempt by us to promote or otherwise condition the market for our funds. Subject to the restrictions on distribution noted above, hardcopy versions of literature are available free of charge from us on request. Potential investors are responsible for informing themselves about the relevant legal framework in their country of residence.

GENERAL RISKS
This list is not exhaustive and you should refer to the relevant documentation specific to your chosen investment.

Please remember that the price of units/shares and the income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. There is normally an initial charge when you purchase units/shares in the funds. Changes in exchange rates will affect the value of funds' investments overseas. Investment in smaller companies, single sectors and newer markets offers the possibility of higher returns but may also involve a higher degree of risk.

SPECIFIC FUND RISKS
Certain funds are subject to specific investment risks which are set out fully in the Prospectus and Simplified Prospectus documents, which you should consider before making any investment. Please refer to the relevant documentation specific to your chosen investment. The Simplified Prospectus may be downloaded from this site.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING
Under international arrangements for the prevention of financial crime, investors may be required to provide proof of identity and residence in accordance with the relevant Anti Money Laundering Laws and Regulations before applications for subscription can be accepted or, in the event of redemption, where further evidence has not previously been provided.

INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS (ISAs)
Shares in the Architas funds listed on this site are eligible investments for stocks and shares ISAs. ISAs are available only to investors with a valid UK tax or National Insurance reference. The tax advantages of these products, which are subject to change, depend on the circumstances of the individual investor.

APPLICATION FOR INVESTMENT
Application to invest in Architas funds may only be made in accordance with the relevant offering document (Prospectus and Simplified Prospectus) and any applicable Terms and Conditions.

The distributors and registrars of the funds will refuse to accept and register any application for the issue of shares if it appears to them that acceptance of such application would be unlawful.

Any investment should be for the medium to long term (i.e. typically 5 year minimum).

If you do not understand any of the information in these documents, please seek professional financial advice.
