No Offer or Advice

 

The Site and the data, text, graphics, information, content or services provided on the Site (collectively, the “Content”) are provided as a public service and are for information and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Site constitutes investment advice. Neither the information, nor any option contained on the Site constitutes a recommendation, solicitation or offer by Kopernik to sell or buy any security or investment product or service. Although some of Content may relate to investment in securities and/or mutual funds, the Site does not, and it is not intended to, provide any investment, financial, retirement planning, legal, accounting or tax advice. You are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy, security or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance. You should not use or rely upon the Site as a substitute for independent research or professional tax, financial or legal advice. You should seek such professional tax, financial or legal advice for your specific situation. You acknowledge that any requests you make for information in connection with the Site are unsolicited. Decisions based, in whole or in part, on information contained on the Site are your sole responsibility.

All funds for which Kopernik acts as the investment adviser are offered by prospectus or private placement memorandum only. Prospectuses contain more complete information on advisory fees, distribution charges, and other expenses, and should be read carefully before investing or sending money. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Please remember that there is no assurance that the investment objective of any fund will be achieved. Please also note that investment return and principal value will fluctuate. Shares of mutual funds involve investment risks, including the risk that such shares may be worth more or less than their original cost upon redemption or other transfer.

The Content may contain forward-looking statements and descriptions of goals and objectives, which involve certain risks and uncertainties. These forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan”, the negatives thereof, or other similar language. Although these forward-looking statements, stated goals and objectives are based upon assumptions and information that Kopernik believes are reasonable, actual results of investments, operations and achievements may differ materially from the statements, goals and objectives set forth in the Content. In considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the relevant risks and other cautionary statements in the Content. Prospective investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
