Thank you for visiting the Equity International website. By using this website, you agree to abide by the following terms and conditions. If you do not accept these conditions, do not use this website. Equity International may change this Disclaimer, Privacy Policy and User Agreement (Agreement) from time to time, based upon any changes to our website and our users’ experience on it.

Disclaimer

Equity International is an investment adviser registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Registration of an investment adviser with the SEC does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

All information contained on this website, including any transaction described therein, is for informational and/or illustrative purposes only. Statements contained on this website that are not historical facts are based on current views, forward-looking expectations, estimates, projections, opinions and/or beliefs of the Equity International team. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors. You should not rely on these statements as if they were facts.

The investments and strategies discussed throughout the website may not be suitable for all investors and are not obligations of or guaranteed by Equity International or any of its affiliates. Nothing on this website is to be construed as a solicitation to offer investment advice or services. Information about investing in Equity International funds is only available in the form of private placement memoranda and other offering documents. These documents contain information to help investors evaluate Equity International funds’ investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses, among other factors, before considering an investment. By using this website, you agree that Equity International is not liable for any action you take or decision you make in reliance on any website content. Further information about Equity International is also available in Equity International’s Form ADV Part 2, filed with the SEC.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative, nor a guarantee, of future results and no representation is made that any fund will or is likely to achieve results that are similar to those of Equity International’s or its principals’ current or previous funds. Prior investments may have been made under different market, economic or other conditions than those in which future investments and/or strategies will be pursued, and as a result may not be replicated. Investors may lose part or all of their investment capital or face various other risks as described in the applicable offering documents.

Certain statements made reflect Equity International’s and portfolio company management’s opinions and beliefs regarding the company and the investment. Such opinions and beliefs are subjective, do not represent a complete assessment of the company, the market or Equity International’s overall investment performance and cannot be independently verified. Such statements are being offered as references for purposes of demonstrating the benefits of working with the Equity International team and not for the purpose of soliciting investors. Portfolio company executives receive/received a salary and economics from the respective portfolio company. No executives were paid for their testimonial or endorsement. There is a conflict of interest in these unpaid testimonials and endorsements in that all speakers stand to benefit from Equity International’s success and/or their companies are or were a Equity International portfolio company.

Details on selected investment have been included for illustrative purposes only and have been selected in order to provide examples of the types of investments previously made by Equity International.

Certain links, including links to portfolio company websites, are provided on this website. These links are provided as a convenience and do not imply Equity International’s sponsorship or approval of any of these websites or their content. Equity International has no control over or responsibility for other websites that may be accessible from this website, the contents thereof, their security or privacy policies or any products/services that may be offered by them. If you access any third-party website through this website or because it is referred to in this website, you do so at your own risk. Links to or from this website do not constitute an endorsement by Equity International of the parties or businesses which are so linked, nor do they necessarily indicate any affiliation between us and such parties or businesses.
