Structure and Management
Argyle Funds SPC Inc. (the
“Company”) was duly incorporated in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Law (2004 Revision) and regulated as
an administered mutual fund under the Mutual Funds Law (2003
Revision) of the Cayman Islands on the 17th December, 2003. On
29 October 2004 the Company became registered as a Segregated
Portfolio Company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. On 1
December 2004, the Company ceased to be registered as an
administered fund and became a regulated fund in accordance with
Section 4(3) of the Mutual Funds Law (2003 Revision) of the
Cayman Islands.
The Company has created 10 Funds, each of which is established
as a Segregated Portfolio. Seven (7) Funds (Class M to S) will
issue Shares and three (3) Funds (Classes J to L) will issue
fixed rate Notes. The proceeds from the issue of each respective
Class will constitute Segregated Portfolio Assets in respect of
the Fund in which they are issued and will be maintained by the
Company as a separate pool of assets attributable exclusively to
that Fund.
Diversification
The Funds will be well diversified in order to minimize risk. This diversification will be across different industry sectors and markets as well as the geographical markets which the Funds will invest in. However, in order to maintain the flexibility to capitalize on investment opportunities as they arise, the Funds’ assets are not subject to any specific diversification requirement. As a result, the proportion of the Funds’ portfolios in any security, industry sector, geographic region or market can change at any time based on the Manager’s assessment of the markets generally and specific investment opportunities in particular.
Pricing
The Share price of the Funds are based upon and determined by reference to the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of each Fund. The NAV is calculated on each Valuation Day. The Subscription Price is the Net Asset Value per Share, together with any Initial Placement Charges applicable at the time of subscription. The Redemption Price is the Net Asset Value per Share, less any Redemption charges, if applicable, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Private Offering Memorandum.
Currency of the Funds
Each Fund will use, unless specifically stated as otherwise, United States Dollars as its base currency. All purchases, redemptions, prices, Net Asset Value, statements and reporting letters are quoted in US Dollars (USD) unless specifically stated otherwise.
Taxation
The Funds are not subject to any income taxes in the Caymans, or elsewhere. However, if the Funds invest in certain jurisdictions where withholding taxes apply, then any dividends and interest earned from these investments will be subject to the withholding taxes of that jurisdiction. When investors redeem their Shares in any of the Funds, they may or may not be subject to either income or capital gains taxes in their home countries. Each Account Holder will be required to include, in computing income or loss for tax purposes for a taxation year, his or her share of the income or loss of the Fund, whether or not he or she has received a distribution from the Fund.
Reporting
Whenever a purchase is made, the investor will receive a Purchase Confirmation showing the number of shares purchased, the price per share, and the amount of the purchase. Thereafter, the investor can expect to receive quartely statements showing the amount of interest receivced for that period.
