Quarterly gate: redemptions by all investors are limited per calendar quarter to 5% of the sub-fund NAV as at the end of the immediately preceding quarter; the NAV attributable to Class M units is left out of the reference base. Requests in excess are scaled back in proportion to the NAV held by the respective investor and carried forward to the next permissible dealing day.

The 5% limit is measured against the NAV of the sub-fund at the end of the preceding calendar quarter, excluding the NAV attributable to Class M units. Unlike the sister sub-fund Diversified Private Equity, there is NO increase in the limit by the subscriptions accepted on the same dealing day. The board of directors may in addition reduce the permissible redemption amount further.
