  4. No Advice or Offer of Securities. All content on the Site is for informational purposes only. Although the Site may include investment-related information, nothing on the Site is a recommendation that you purchase, sell or hold any security or other investment, or that you pursue any investment style or strategy. QVT does not give any advice on, or make any representations through, the Site as to whether any security or investment is suitable to you or will be profitable. Nothing on the Site is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security or make or hold any investment, including an investment in any fund or portfolio managed by QVT. The Site and the information contained therein do not constitute and should not be used or considered as an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy an interest in any investment fund managed by QVT or for the provision of any investment management or advisory services in any jurisdiction. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only by means of a confidential private offering memorandum relating to the particular fund. The contents of this Site do not constitute legal, tax or accounting advice or advice regarding the suitability or profitability of any transaction or investment. Access to information about any fund managed by QVT is limited to investors who, among other requirements, qualify as “accredited investors” and “qualified purchasers” within the meaning of such terms under the securities laws of the United States, and who are sophisticated in financial matters, such that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of prospective investments. The information provided in or accessible through the Site is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject QVT to any registration or other requirement within such jurisdiction or country.
  5. Limitations of Site Content. QVT makes no representations that any information provided via the Site is accurate, current, reliable or complete. You are solely responsible for evaluating the risks and merits regarding the use of the Site and any services provided by QVT. The contents of the Site may contain forward-looking statements that are based on QVT’s subjective beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates, and projections about investments, the financial industry or the economy. These statements are neither suggestions of past performance nor guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. QVT undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Furthermore, past performance is not indicative of future results and no representation is being made that any investment will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those achieved in the past, or that significant losses will be avoided. Groupings of positions into categories such as “Core Areas of Investment” and “Strategies” reflect QVT’s subjective determination of its historical, current and prospective portfolios under management, and these categories and their relative importance and applicability may change at any time. QVT’s approach to categorization and its actual investments and areas of focus may also change at any time. In addition, the specific investment examples mentioned on this Site are simply illustrations of QVT’s investment style which QVT believes are interesting to present to you. They do not represent all the securities purchased, sold or recommended to the funds managed by QVT, nor are they representative of the entire portfolios of those funds. You should not assume that the selected investments are or will become profitable. You should not consider the examples as recommendations to buy or sell any security and they are not necessarily indicative of the future transactions of the portfolios managed by QVT. Lastly, these examples are not intended to describe all the risks associated with a particular security or group of securities in the QVT portfolios.
