The materials relating to the funds offered by the Company, published on website pages in the generali-investments.pl domain, are for information or advertising purposes and do not constitute an agreement or an information document required by law. They are not an offer as defined in Article 66 of the Polish Civil Code, an investment advisory service or a recommendation on financial instruments, nor are they information recommending or suggesting an investment strategy or an investment recommendation referred to in Article 3(1)(34) and (35) of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Market Abuse, nor are they any form of financial, tax or legal advice.

The information provided in the materials is not sufficient to make an investment decision and assess risks associated with investing in mutual funds. Before making final investment decisions, please first read the Key Information Document (KID) and, in the case of SFIO and FIZ, the Alternative Investment Fund Client Information Document, and the Prospectus to learn more about the investment policy, risk factors, investment fund unit disposal, unit holder rights, fund fees, and applicable taxes.

Unit holders need to be prepared for a possible decrease in or a loss of all or part of the invested funds. The individual return on investment is not the same as the sub-fund’s investment performance and depends on the value of the unit at the time of its disposal and repurchase by the sub-fund, as well as on fees and taxes applicable to the income earned on the investment. Taxes depend on the client’s individual situation and may change in the future. The financial information presented relates to a specific period in the past and the results achieved in the past do not guarantee returns on future investments. The result will differ depending on the market situation and period for which the investment is held. The presented results are exclusive of a given sub-fund’s fees and taxes.
