-
Lack of Liquidity: There is no public trading market for shares in the European Private Income Fund (“EPIF” or the “Fund”), and none is expected to develop. While quarterly liquidity is generally provided, redemptions are limited to 5% of the Fund's Net Asset Value per quarter. Significant redemption requests may force premature liquidation of investments, potentially causing losses. The Fund may also suspend redemptions, further limiting investor access to capital and potentially reducing investment value before redemption is permitted.
-
Risk of Fund Leverage: The Fund may incur substantial leverage, increasing exposure to adverse economic factors (e.g., rising interest rates, downturns, or deteriorating investment conditions). Leverage can amplify both gains and losses; if returns are less than the cost of funds, losses are magnified.
-
General economic and market conditions: The Fund is exposed to risks from changing economic, political, regulatory, or market conditions, including interest rates, credit availability, currency fluctuations, trade barriers, natural disasters, and pandemics. Such factors may impact investment opportunities and the value of current or prospective investments.
-
Credit and Currency Risk: There is a risk that issuers may default on debt obligations, adversely affecting Fund returns. Costs are incurred in multiple currencies, and fluctuations in exchange rates can increase or decrease Fund costs.
-
Dependence on the Investment Manager: The Fund's performance is highly dependent on the expertise of Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (“MSIM”) and its personnel. Loss of key individuals could materially impact Fund performance.
-
Incentive and Management Fees: Fee structures may incentivize the Fund to make more speculative investments, accelerate investment pace, or hold investments longer than optimal. Management fees based on Net Asset Value may also encourage additional borrowing.
-
Conflicts of Interest: Morgan Stanley's multiple roles (investment manager and service provider to various funds/accounts) may create conflicts of interest that are not fully mitigated by existing policies or agreements.
-
Sustainability Risk: Environmental, social, or governance events could materially and negatively impact the Fund's value. Sustainability risks are integrated into investment decision-making and risk monitoring as they may affect long-term risk-adjusted returns.
