We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. This document should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus of the relevant Funds that will exclusively form the basis of any application and an investment should not be contemplated until the risks of investment and tax implications have been considered fully. We recommend that recipients who are not professional investors contact their financial adviser. Thames River Global Boutiques Fund, Thames River Equity Managed Fund, Thames River Balance Managed Fund, Thames River Cautious Managed Fund and Thames River Distribution Fund are sub-funds of Thames River Multi-Capital Funds ICVC, an investment company with variable capital authorised by the Financial Services Authority. Protections provided by the United Kingdom regulatory structure will apply to investments in these funds, including access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and the Financial Ombudsman Service. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Values may fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount you invested. Income from investments may fluctuate. Income payments may constitute a return of capital in whole or in part. Income may be achieved by foregoing future capital growth. Changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of investments. Fund charges may be applied in whole or part to capital, which may result in capital erosion. You should be aware of the additional risks associated with investment in emerging and developing markets. The prices of some investments may be extremely volatile. This factor can make it difficult to obtain independent verification of the investment value and the extent of the risks to which they are exposed. (070905)
