Forward-looking statements
40
This document contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be indentified by terms such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘potential,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘will,’’ and ‘‘would,’’ or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. The forward-looking statements are based on the Investment Manager’s beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of future performance and market developments, taking into account all information currently available. These beliefs, assumptions, and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known or are within the Investment Manager’s control. If a change occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to vary from those expressed in forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: the factors described in this report; the rate at which HVPE deploys its capital in investments and achieves expected rates of return; HarbourVest’s ability to execute its investment strategy, including through the identification of a sufficient number of appropriate investments; the ability of third-party managers of funds in which the HarbourVest funds are invested and of funds in which the Company may invest through parallel investments to execute their own strategies and achieve intended returns; the continuation of the Investment Manager as manager of the Company’s investments, the continued affiliation with HarbourVest of its key investment professionals and the continued willingness of HarbourVest to sponsor the formation of and capital raising by, and to manage, new private equity funds; HVPE’s financial condition and liquidity, including its ability to access or obtain new sources of financing at attractive rates in order to fund short term liquidity needs in accordance with the investment strategy and commitment policy; changes in the values of or returns on investments that the Company makes; changes in financial markets, interest rates or industry, general economic or political conditions; and the general volatility of the capital markets and the market price of HVPE’s shares. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they relate to events, and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Any forward-looking statements are only made as at the date of this document, and the Investment Manager neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update forward-looking statements set forth in this document whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law or other applicable regulation. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the events described by any such forward-looking statements might not occur. HarbourVest qualifies any and all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary factors. Please keep this cautionary note in mind while reading this report.
