Please note that all investments are subject to market fluctuations. Investing in a credit strategy may be subject to interest rate securities risk, credit risk and bond market risk, which could negatively affect the performance. Under unusual market conditions the specific risks can increase significantly. Potential Investors should be aware that upgrades or downgrades of the issuing institution’s credit rating may affect the value of the fixed-income security. The issuing institution may not be able to meet its interest and repayment liabilities, which may result in the strategy sustaining losses.

The value of your investment may fluctuate, past performance is no guarantee for the future. Do not take unnecessary risks. Before you invest, it is important that you are aware of and are informed about the characteristics and risks of investing.

There’s a saying in Dutch, Kom verder, it means many things and it’s our business philosophy. It captures the way we work with clients but also the way we steer our investee companies to deliver shareholder value through active engagement.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
