Disclosures: Legal, Privacy, and Social Media

This communication is not an offer to sell, or solicitation of offers to buy, securities. Investments in a private fund can be made only pursuant to such fund’s subscription documents and private placement memorandum and after careful consideration of the risk factors set forth therein. Investments entail significant risks and are suitable only for certain investors as part of an overall diversified investment strategy and only for investors able to withstand a total loss of investment. Investment products offered by Partners for Growth are available only to investors who meet statutory qualifications as a “qualified client” under the SEC Rule 205-3 promulgated under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.  Past performance is not an indication of future results. In addition, there can be no assurance that current investments will be realized as projected. Actual realized returns will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs, and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions on which the information contained herein is based. It should not be assumed that any investments described herein were or will be profitable. The investment strategy includes the use of leverage which involves a substantial degree of risk and does not guarantee improved return. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking statements. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements or examples and should bear in mind that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Gross Internal rate of return (IRR) measures the annualized compounded return on for assets in PFG Fund Portfolios, taking into account timing of cashflows, and is not Net of Management Fees or Carried Interest due to the Manager.  The Net IRR for PFG Funds are presented for the Fund as a whole, net of applicable fees, expenses, carried interest, etc. An individual limited partner’s Net IRR may differ due to various reasons including timing of contributions and amount of management fees paid.  The variance in performance may be material. Limited partners should refer to their individual account statements for actual capital account balances and returns. The Net IRR shown was prepared by the Manager and has not been compiled, reviewed or audited by an independent accountant. The presented results are based on the Fund’s internal books and records and are subject to adjustment following the year-end audit. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. None of Partners for Growth or any of its affiliates or principals nor any other individual or entity assumes any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, subsequent events or any other circumstances. All statements made herein speak only as of the date that they were originally made.  Information included herein does not constitute investment advice and should not be viewed as a current or past recommendation buy or sell any securities or to adopt any investment strategy.

INFORMATION WE OBTAIN FROM THIRD PARTIES
