Risks related to our indirect exposure to the cryptocurrency markets through investments

Cryptocurrencies (also referred to as virtual currencies and digital currencies) are digital assets that are designed to act as a medium of exchange. Although we have no current intention of directly investing in cryptocurrencies, we have indirect exposure to cryptocurrencies by investing in securities of portfolio companies with operations in the cryptocurrency industry. Cryptocurrencies (some of the most well-known include Bitcoin and Ethereum) are not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Trading markets for cryptocurrencies are subject to an evolving and fragmented regulatory framework. While certain jurisdictions, such as the European Union and the United States, have recently implemented or proposed regulatory regimes, other markets remain less regulated. As a result, cryptocurrency markets may be more exposed to operational or technical issues, as well as the potential for fraud or manipulation, compared with the established, regulated exchanges for securities, derivatives, and traditional currencies.

Cryptocurrencies have been subject to significant fluctuations in value. The value of a cryptocurrency may significantly fluctuate precipitously (including declining to zero) and unpredictably for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: investor perceptions and expectations; regulatory changes; general economic conditions; adoption and use in the retail and commercial marketplace; public opinion regarding the environmental impact of the creation (minting or mining) of cryptocurrency; confidence in, and the maintenance and development of, its network and open-source software protocols such as blockchain for ensuring the integrity of cryptocurrency transactional data; and general risks tied to the use of information technologies, including cybersecurity risks.
