# Redemption requests are generally processed on a quarterly basis in accordance with the PDS. Investors do not have a right to redeem and the Responsible Entity (RE) may reject redemption requests. The ability to redeem is subject to liquidity and the processing of redemptions may be delayed or suspended in certain circumstances. The RE will limit redemptions to up to 5% of the issued Class B Units each quarter. Redemption requests exceeding that limit may be accepted by the RE, pro-rated or scaled back to 5%. Please refer to the PDS for more details about redeeming Class B Units and how to submit a redemption request form.
Understanding The Risks
All investing involves risk. The summary below sets out some of the risks that a prospective investor should be aware of and consider before investing in the La Trobe US Private Credit Fund (USPCF).
Please refer to section 6 of the PDS for more detailed risk disclosures, including in respect of specific investment risks in the LGAM Private Credit LLC (Underlying Fund).
Investment risk: As with most investing, there is no guarantee that investors will earn a positive return from investing in the USPCF. Investors may receive back less monies than they invested, and there is no guarantee of regular distributions of income from an investment in the USPCF.
Valuation risk: La Trobe Financial expects to receive valuations of the Underlying Fund on a monthly basis. The Investment Adviser of the Underlying Fund will determine the fair value of the Underlying Fund’s assets in its reasonable judgment based on various factors and may rely on internal pricing models. Such valuations may vary from similar valuations performed by independent third-parties for similar types of assets. Accordingly, due to a wide variety of market factors and the nature of certain assets to be held by the Underlying Fund, there is no guarantee the USPCF can realise its investments in the Underlying Fund at the valuations provided by the Investment Adviser.
Interest rate risk: Changes in interest rates may negatively affect, directly or indirectly, investment values or returns.
Currency risk: La Trobe Financial will implement hedging arrangements to seek to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations between Australian dollars and the base currency of the Underlying Fund, on the value of USPCF assets. While La Trobe Financial intends to do this on a best endeavours basis, the USPCF may not provide complete protection from adverse currency movements and could limit potential gains.
Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk may mean that Units of the USPCF are unable to be sold or the Fund’s exposure is unable to be rebalanced within a timely period and at a fair price, potentially resulting in delays in processing redemption, or even suspension of redemptions.
