3. Legal Disclaimer -- Continued
There are special considerations associated with international investing, including the risk of currency fluctuations and
political and economic events. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risk and volatility than investing in
more developed countries. Due to their narrow focus, sector-based investments typically exhibit greater volatility.
Investors should be aware that hedge funds often engage in leverage, short-selling, arbitrage, hedging, derivatives, and
other speculative investment practices that may increase investment loss. Hedge funds can be highly illiquid, are not
required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, and often charge high fees that can erode
performance. Additionally, they may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing tax information. While
hedge funds may appear similar to mutual funds, they are not necessarily subject to the same regulatory requirements
as mutual funds.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

16. LRISE – THE END OF MONGOLIA?
• Law creates massive uncertainty for foreign investors
• Requires pre-approval for tiny transactions
• Prevents Mongolian business owners from raising capital in distressed situations
• Interferes with ability of companies with large foreign investors from raising capital to
pay Mongolian service providers
• Harms potential for the government to generate tax revenue from service providers to
foreign controlled mining companies
• Inconsistent with laws regulating the MSE and foreign laws regulating capital
issuances in major foreign stock exchanges
• Will destroy FDI and therefore Mongolia’s future if enforced
• Well-intentioned but should be amended to protect Mongolia’s future
