We are not offering to sell or seeking offers to buy any Strategy. Any transaction requires our subsequent formal agreement which will be subject to internal approvals and binding transaction documents.
Obtain independent professional advice before investing. We are not recommending or making any representations as to suitability of any Strategy. Counterparties (which may include, without limitation, Barclays), their affiliates and associated personnel may act in several capacities in financial instruments which may adversely affect the Strategy’s performance.
Any past performance or simulated past performance contained herein is no indication as to future performance. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any pricing information, performance data or modelling in these materials.

Risk Factors
THESE RISK FACTORS HIGHLIGHT ONLY SOME OF THE RISKS OF THE STRATEGY DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT
Barclays’ rating is not a recommendation as to Barclays’ creditworthiness or the risks, returns or suitability of the Strategies.
THE STRATEGIES MAY BE VOLATILE. The level of change in value of a particular Strategy is its “volatility”. A Strategy’s volatility may be affected by performance of the underlying assets, along with financial, political and economic events and other market conditions.
TAX MAY APPLY. Payments from a particular Strategy may be subject to tax, withholding and other deductions.
STRATEGIES DESCRIBED TYPICALLY COMBINE INVESTMENT TYPES. Different types of financial risk may interact unpredictably, particularly in times of market stress.
THIS DOCUMENT CANNOT DISCLOSE ALL POSSIBLE RISKS OF THE Strategies. Before investing, you must satisfy yourself that you fully understand the risks of that particular investment.
Before investing, you should read the investment guidelines. The manager’s fees are paid from assets under management and will reduce the return on the Strategy.
All opinions and estimates are given as of the date hereof and are subject to change.
The Strategies are collateralised to the extent required to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However if a counterparty does not post collateral to a Strategy as and when required, that Strategy may terminate the transaction(s) with such counterparty and the Strategy may suffer significant losses as a result.
Furthermore, since the Strategy bears counterparty’s credit risk, if a counterparty becomes insolvent the Strategy may not be able to meet all its payment obligations.
