New Food Systems

New Food Systems.

Feeding the world, nourishing the planet.

 

Food systems are transforming, enabling innovative companies to profit from the rise of sustainable solutions across the value chain.

Investors can capture these inflection points and benefit from the mass-market adoption of agricultural practices, diets and technologies aligned with global climate and nature goals.

In the transition from old to new food systems, existing profit pools will be disrupted and new ones created, generating a market with annual revenues of USD 1.5 trillion globally by 20301.

Such profound change responds directly to the key food systems challenge: how to feed the growing population while staying within, or helping restore, vital planetary boundaries.

The Fund will not be, nor will its shares be, registered for public offering in any jurisdiction. This document is not a recommendation to subscribe to and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation or an offer to buy the Fund’s shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Fund’s shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Consequently, the offering of the Fund’s shares may be restricted in certain jurisdictions. Prospective investors must inform themselves of, and observe, such restrictions, including legal, tax, foreign exchange or other restrictions in their relevant jurisdictions. Neither this document nor any part of it shall form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract to purchase or subscribe to the Fund’s shares. Any such acquisition may only be made on the basis of the official documents of the Fund, each in their final form. The prospectus and fund contract, the Key Investor Information Document, and the most recent annual and semi-annual reports are the only official offering documents of the Fund’s shares (the “Offering Documents”). They are available on http//:funds.lombardodier.com or can be requested free of charge at the registered office of the Fund or of the Management Company, or from the distributors of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not suitable for all investors. Making an investment in a Fund is speculative. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved or that there will be a return on the capital. Past or estimated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and no assurance can be made that profits will be achieved or that substantial losses will not be incurred. This document does not contain personalised recommendations or advice and is not intended to substitute any professional advice on investment in financial products. Before making an investment in the Fund, an investor should read the entire Offering Documents, and in particular the risk factors pertaining to an investment in the Fund, consider carefully the suitability of such investment to their circumstances and, where necessary, obtain independent professional advice in respect of risks, as well as any legal, regulatory, credit, tax and accounting consequences.

Any benchmarks/indices cited herein are provided for information purposes only. No benchmark/index is directly comparable to the investment objectives, strategy or universe of a fund. The performance of a benchmark shall not be indicative of past or future performance of any fund. It should not be assumed that the relevant fund will invest in any specific securities that compromise any index, nor should it be understood to mean that there is a correlation between such fund’s returns and any index returns.
If the funds are denominated in a currency other than that in which the majority of the investor’s assets are held, the investor should be aware that changes in rates of exchange may affect the value of the funds’ underlying assets. The portfolio risk management process includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but does not imply low risk.
The strategy may include the use of derivatives. Derivatives often involve a high degree of financial risk because a relatively small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement in the price of the derivative and are not suitable for all investors. No representation regarding the suitability of these instruments and strategies for a particular investor is made.
The views and opinions expressed are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a recommendation by LOIM to buy, sell or hold any security. Views and opinions are current as of the date of this presentation and may be subject to change. They should not be construed as investment advice.
