Disclaimers

Morgan Stanley & Co International plc ("Morgan Stanley"), as program sponsor of the LiquidFunds program (or any of its affiliates), does not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, in respect of any participating fund or its investment manager, the likely performance of any participating fund or the suitability of any participating fund for any investor and shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever in respect of any inaccuracy in, or omission from, this web site or any document issued in respect of any participating fund. No investigation or review of any participating fund, its investment manager or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, employees or agents, nor of the investments or performance of any participating fund or its investment manager or of any affiliate has been or will be performed by Morgan Stanley for the benefit of investors, other than as set out in the Program Rules.

Investors in any participating fund should not rely on any communication (written or oral) of Morgan Stanley as program sponsor of the LiquidFunds program or otherwise, as constituting investment advice or as a recommendation to invest in or to seek exposure to any participating fund. The information and explanations relating to the terms and conditions of the LiquidFunds program shall not be considered to be investment advice or a recommendation to invest in any participating fund, and such information and explanations are not an offer or invitation (or a solicitation of an offer or invitation) to subscribe, buy, redeem or sell securities in or relating to any participating fund. No communication (written or oral) received from Morgan Stanley shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of an investment in any participating fund.

In performing its functions as program sponsor of the LiquidFunds program, Morgan Stanley does not act on behalf of, or accept any duty of care or any other fiduciary obligations in relation to any participating fund or its investment manager or to any investors in any participating fund. As a result, Morgan Stanley shall not be liable to any investor for breach of trust or any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise attach to it.

Due to the diversity of services it offers to their clients and its broad business base, Morgan Stanley may also have other existing or future relationships with any participating fund and/or its investment manager or with other entities whose interests may conflict with those of a participating fund and/or its investment manager. Certain capacities may involve professional and/or fiduciary obligations on the part of certain divisions of Morgan Stanley to third parties. These capacities and other relationships may present situations in which the interests of Morgan Stanley or its clients or other entities to whom such duties are owed may be in conflict with the interests of a participating fund and/or those of investors in such participating fund. In such situations, Morgan Stanley may take decisions that may adversely affect the relevant participating fund and/or its investors. There is no restriction on Morgan Stanley with regard to acting in similar roles for other parties or persons and no duty on any of them to act in the interests of any participating fund or its investors. In particular, Morgan Stanley (or an affiliate) may be a prime broker, lender, counterparty or have various other relationships with any participating fund. Morgan Stanley is not required to advise investors of (or seek consent for) any such business. In addition, Morgan Stanley may trade with any participating fund for its own account or for any other account. Neither Morgan Stanley nor its affiliates shall be liable for any such conflicts of interest and shall not be liable to account for any profit derived therefrom.

Investors should ensure that they understand and are comfortable with the identities of the parties and the roles they play in relation to each participating fund and undertake their own enquiries and due diligence in relation to the parties and the investment without relying on Morgan Stanley, as program sponsor of the LiquidFunds program or otherwise, for such comfort. Investors should consult with their own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investments, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that they deem necessary, and make their own investments, hedging and trading decisions based upon their own judgment and upon any advice they have received from such advisors or as they have deemed necessary. Investors should only invest in any participating fund with a full understanding of the terms, conditions and risks thereof and are capable of and should be willing to assume those risks.
