    In relation to Man AHL Diversified Futures Ltd (the “Company”) specifically:
    • The Company primarily invests in futures and options fund. It also intends to invest extensively in other financial derivatives (‘FIDs’) to achieve its investment objective, including but not limited to, warrants, forward contracts, convertible securities, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and equity swaps, and may utilise over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives.
    • The Company may use long or short investment strategies. Risks inherent in the company are not typically encountered in traditional funds. FDIs can be highly volatile and will expose investors to leverage risk. Leverage has the effect of potentially magnifying losses and could result in the value of the Company decreasing substantially.
    • The Company is subject to additional risks including without limitation, commodity market risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, limited diversification risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk and sovereign risk.
    • The Company relies heavily on qualitative models or strategies which depend on the reliability and accuracy of the Investment Manager’s analytical models and data supplied by third parties. To the extent such models or the assumptions underlying them or the data do not prove to be correct, the investments of the Company may not perform as anticipated which could result in losses.
    • No equalization methods are used by the Company for the purpose of determining the incentive fee. There is a risk that an investor redeeming its investment in the Company may still incur an incentive fee, even though a loss has been suffered by the redeeming investor.
    • Investment involves risks in particular risks associated with futures and options fund. Investment in the Company may not be suitable for all investors, and may lead to total loss of investments. Before you decide to invest, you should make sure the intermediary who sells it to you has explained the Company is suitable for you.
