Important information

Published by Equitree Capital Assets Managers IFSC LLP, a Registered Fund Management Entity (Non-Retail) ("FME") to Equitree Emerging Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"). Equitree Capital Advisors Private Limited, a SEBI-registered portfolio manager, advises the FME. This page is for information only and is not an offer or solicitation. Any investment is made solely on the basis of the Private Placement Memorandum ("PPM") and fund documents.

The Fund is a Restricted Scheme (Non-Retail) Category III AIF registered with IFSCA under the IFSCA (Fund Management) Regulations, 2025. Filing the PPM with IFSCA does not imply its approval or endorsement.

Investing involves risk, including loss of capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The Fund holds Indian rupee assets while subscriptions and distributions are in US dollars, so exchange-rate movements can reduce returns in US dollar terms.

Information on this page is as at the date stated. Seek independent legal, tax and financial advice before investing.
