Legal disclaimerThis document was produced by responsAbility Social Investments AG (hereinafter “responsAbility”). The information contained in this document (hereinafter “information”) is based on sources considered to be reliable, but its accuracy and completeness is not guaranteed. The information is subject to change at any time and without obligation to notify the investors. Unless otherwise indicated, all figures are unaudited and are not guaranteed.  Any action derived from this information is always at the investors’ own risk. This document is for information purposes only and not an official confirmation of terms. The value of an investment and any income from it is not guaranteed. Changes in the assumptions may have a substantial impact on the return. Past performance is no indication of current or future performance, and the performance data do not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares. The information does not release the recipient from making his/her own assessment. In particular, the recipient is advised to assess the information, with the assistance of an advisor if necessary, with regard to its compatibility with his/her own circumstances in view of any legal, regulatory, tax, and other implications. Investments held by the financial product described in this document are associated with a higher risk than investments in more developed markets or countries.  responsAbility and/or the members of its board of directors and employees may hold shares in the financial product (or any related investments) mentioned in this document and may add or sell these positions from time to time. Additionally, the members of the board of directors and employees of responsAbility may serve as members of boards of directors of the investments in which the financial product is invested.  This document is expressly not intended for persons who, due to their nationality or place of residence, are not permitted access to such information under applicable law.  The responsAbility Global Microfinance Fund (hereinafter “Fund”) is a collective investment scheme subject to Luxembourg law, which is authorized to operate in Switzerland as a foreign collective investment scheme with increased risk. The Fund invests its assets in securities with which financial service companies in less developed countries are financed and/or refinanced. Investors are expressly made aware of the risks described in the prospectus and the lower liquidity and greater difficulty in determining the value of the Fund’s investments (which are generally unlisted and not traded), and must also be prepared to accept substantial price losses including the entire loss of their investment. The risks inherent in the Fund cannot be compared with other funds which invest in debt instruments of issuers in developed countries. Units in the Fund should therefore account for only a small portion of an investor’s portfolio and should be held as part of a broadly diversified portfolio. The management company and the investment advisor, however, will seek to minimize the risks by a strict selection of investments and appropriate diversification. The representative of the Fund in Switzerland is Credit Suisse Asset Management Funds, Zurich. The paying agent in Switzerland is Credit Suisse, Zurich. Subscriptions are only valid on the basis of the current sales prospectus and the most recent annual report (or semi-annual report, if this is more recent). The prospectus, the management regulations and the annual and semi-annual reports may be obtained free of charge from Credit Suisse Asset Management Fund Service in Zurich, and from any distribution partner. This document may not be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted, in part or in full, in any form or by any means, whether electronically, mechanically, photocopied, recorded or otherwise, without the prior written consent of responsAbility.
