3. NO OFFER OF SECURITIES; NO ADVICE
THIS SITE AND THE INFORMATION INCLUDED HEREIN ARE FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY MATERIAL AT THE SITE BE USED OR CONSIDERED AS AN OFFER TO SELL OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY ANY SECURITY, FUTURE OR OTHER FINANCIAL PRODUCT OR INSTRUMENT, INCLUDING ANY INTEREST IN ANY INVESTMENT FUND SPONSORED OR MANAGED BY TWO SIGMA OR ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES OFFERED BY TWO SIGMA OR ITS AFFILIATES. ANY SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION CAN AND WILL BE MADE ONLY BY MEANS OF THE APPLICABLE CONFIDENTIAL OFFERING MEMORANDUM OF EACH SUCH INVESTMENT FUND OR OTHER APPLICABLE DOCUMENT, ONLY IN JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH SUCH AN OFFER WOULD BE LAWFUL AND ONLY TO INVESTORS WHO MEET THE INVESTOR SUITABILITY AND SOPHISTICATION REQUIREMENTS OF EACH SUCH INVESTMENT FUND AS DETERMINED FROM TIME TO TIME BY TWO SIGMA OR ITS AFFILIATES IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. NO CLIENT RELATIONSHIP IS CREATED BY OR UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE OR FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE.
Such requirements may include, among other things, qualifying as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended; a “qualified client” within the meaning of the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended; a “qualified eligible person” within the meaning of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended; and/or a “qualified purchaser” within the meaning of the rules promulgated under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Access to information about the investment funds managed by, or advisory services offered by, Two Sigma or its affiliates is similarly limited to investors who meet the applicable investor suitability, experience and sophistication requirements. You acknowledge that participation in investment funds or investment advisory services is speculative in nature, involves a high degree of risk and is intended only for experienced and sophisticated investors.
This Site is also not intended to provide any investment, financial, legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or similar advice, and nothing on this Site should be construed as a recommendation, by Two Sigma or its affiliates or any third party, to acquire or dispose of any investment or security, or to engage in any investment strategy or transaction. Any tools displayed on the Site are not personalized to any user or group or type of users (including regarding the age, income, cash holdings, assets, tax status, investment experience and objectives of any user) and are provided for informational and educational purposes only. Such tools use certain statistical methods to provide hypothetical approximations and are based on limited and potentially inaccurate data sources. You should consult your own investment, legal, tax and/or similar professionals regarding your specific situation and any specific decisions. Two Sigma is registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an investment adviser. Even so, as stated above, no material on the Site should be construed as or relied upon as investment advice or any other type of advice. Investment advisory services from Two Sigma are available only to persons who become clients of Two Sigma pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with Two Sigma. Registration with the SEC, with any state securities authority or with any other regulatory authority does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
