Purpose of the Site and investment warning
The Site is purely educational and informative. It explains how listed private equity works, in particular listed investment companies (“trusts”), and reports on news from the sector.
No advice. The content published does not constitute investment advice, a personal recommendation, or a solicitation or offer to buy or sell financial instruments. It does not take into account the financial situation, objectives or risk profile of any reader. Companies and securities are mentioned for illustrative purposes only.
Status. HWA SAS is neither a financial investment adviser (CIF) nor an investment services provider (PSI). It is not registered with ORIAS or authorised by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) for these activities.
Risks. Any investment in financial instruments, and in particular in listed private equity, carries a risk of partial or total loss of the capital invested. Share prices may diverge from net asset value (NAV) for long periods, foreign securities carry currency risk and their liquidity may be limited. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Before making any investment decision, users are encouraged to consult an authorised professional (financial investment adviser, bank adviser or authorised investment services provider). Users remain solely responsible for the use they make of the information published.
