If you do not agree to this Agreement, you are not permitted to use the website. Iron Point reserves the right, at its discretion, to update or revise this Agreement. Please check this Agreement periodically for changes. Your continued use of the website following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes.
You acknowledge that the information, materials, products and Services on this website are subject to change. Not all products and Services are available in all geographic areas. Your eligibility for particular products and Services is subject to determination by and the approval of Iron Point.
You understand that the information contained herein does not constitute a distribution, an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction in which such distribution or offer is not authorized.
Nothing on this website is intended as marketing of any fund in the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Economic Area within the meaning of the Directive 2011/61/EU on Alternative Investment Fund Managers.
Equity capital commitment amounts provide on this website include capital commitments of all Iron Point and IPI Partners funds and accounts.
Assets under management are calculated using net asset value plus uncalled capital commitments of all Iron Point and IPI Partners funds and accounts, as of a recent date. Such figures are approximate, unaudited, and subject to change.
While the material on this website is often about investments, none of it is offered as investment advice. For members of the public, this means that neither the receipt nor the distribution of information though this website constitutes the formation of an investment advisory relationship, or any similar client relationship. No information in this website constitutes investment, legal, tax or other advice nor is it to be relied upon in making an investment decision. Subscriptions for shares or interests in any Iron Point portfolio, fund or other investment product will only be made on the basis of the current relevant prospectus, offering circular or other offering document. Any broker, agent, investment advisor, financial planner or other financial intermediary using this website remains solely responsible for protecting the interests of its clients in connection with any communication via this website.
The Iron Point website may contain performance and other data. Unless otherwise specified (i) all figures are estimated and unaudited, (ii) net results reflect the net realized and unrealized returns after deduction of all operational expenses (including brokerage commissions), management fees and incentive compensation, and (iii) performance data assume reinvestment of all distributions. Actual returns will vary from one investor to the next. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and investors risk loss of their investment. Management team quotes made available on the website do not include feedback from all management teams held in Iron Point’s portfolio and are not endorsements of Iron Point’s investment advisory services. There is no assurance that all management teams will view Iron Point’s private equity approach positively. No assumptions should be made that effective collaborations with management teams indicate that Iron Point’s investment recommendations or decisions were profitable. Additionally, it should not be assumed that any mention on the Iron Point website, or any linked materials, of an increase in operating margins, cash flow or value of companies or the share prices of the securities mentioned indicate that the investment recommendations or decisions that Iron Point made or may make in the future were or will be profitable. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. There is no guarantee that Iron Point will be successful in achieving its investment objectives.
Investors should seek financial advice regarding the appropriateness of making any investments discussed in this website and should understand that statements regarding future prospects may not be realized. Investors should note that income from such investments may fluctuate and that the value of each investment may rise or fall. Accordingly, investors may receive back less than originally invested. Past performance is not necessary a guide to future performance.
This website may contain forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. Statements that are predicative in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “thinks,” and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those matters discussed as “Risk Factors,” in our materials, as well as (i) general economic and business conditions; (ii) new governmental regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with existing governmental regulation, (iii) legislative proposals that impact our industry or the way we do business, (iv) competition, and (v) our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.
Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our goals will be achieved. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained on the Iron Point web site or provide reasons why actual results may differ.

Set forth below in this section 6 is our Privacy Policy which is applicable to your use of the website and communications with Iron Point.
We are required by law to adopt certain procedures designed to maintain and secure the non-public personal information of our clients from inappropriate disclosure to third parties. We take precautions to maintain the privacy of personal information concerning our current and prospective individual clients.

We collect nonpublic personal information about our clients from the following sources:
- Information we receive from a client or prospective client’s completed application or other form, as well as from written and electronic correspondence and telephone contacts with the client. This includes information such as name, address, social security number, assets, income, net worth, copies of financial documents and other information deemed necessary to evaluate the client’s financial needs.

We may also disclose nonpublic personal information to regulatory authorities as required or permitted by applicable law. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to safeguard the clients’ nonpublic personal information and which we believe are adequate to prevent unauthorized disclosure of such information.
We do not otherwise provide information about current, former and prospective individual clients to outside firms, organizations or individuals except at the client’s request or to attorneys, accountants and auditors of any current, former and prospective individual client.
