Witan Pacific invests in emerging markets which may be more volatile than investments made in more developed markets. Some of these markets may have relatively unstable governments, economies based on only a few industries and securities markets that trade only a limited number of securities. Many emerging markets do not have well developed regulatory systems and disclosure standards. Settlement and custody procedures may be less stringent than those of developed markets.
