Please carefully read the following Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) before using this website (the “Site”). By using the Site, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. The Site is owned and operated by Grandeur Peak Global Advisors, LLC and its affiliates and related parties (collectively, “Grandeur Peak” or “we”). Grandeur Peak may periodically modify these Terms of Use, and any such modifications will be effective immediately upon posting. We suggest that you periodically check these Terms of Use for modifications. If you do not agree to any of these Terms of Use, do not use the Site.
Grandeur Peak may also modify, suspend, discontinue, or restrict the use and availability of any portion of the Site at any time, without notice or liability. Your use of the Site may be monitored by Grandeur Peak and used for Grandeur Peak’s internal business purposes, without liability.
1. Grandeur Peak Funds. The mutual funds described on the Site and referred to as the Grandeur Peak Funds (the “Funds”) are offered only by a current prospectus. You may obtain access to the prospectus for any of the Funds at any time while in the Site by selecting the link at the bottom of each page. The prospectus contains more complete information on the Funds, including information on their investment objectives, strategies, risks, and advisory fees and other expenses; you should read the prospectus carefully before deciding to invest in the Funds. You may obtain a free paper copy of the prospectus by calling 1-855-377-7325 or by submitting a request by email to grandeurpeak@ultimusfundsolutions.com.
Grandeur Peak is not the same as the Funds. Rather, Grandeur Peak is a federally registered investment adviser that manages and advises the Funds. If you access your Funds account by clicking on the “Account Log In” link at the top of any page in the Site, you will be redirected to a website operated by the administrator of the Funds, which is Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”). Ultimus and Grandeur Peak are not affiliated.
The materials available on the Site are not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Funds, nor shall any of the Funds be offered or sold to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
Investment return and principal value of the Funds will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mutual funds and other investment products are not FDIC insured; are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any financial institution; and are subject to risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested. These risks, and other risks that particular funds may be subject to, are discussed in each fund’s prospectus.
The Site is not intended to provide any tax, legal, insurance or investment advice, and nothing on the Site should be construed as a recommendation, by Grandeur Peak or any third party, to acquire or dispose of any investment or security, or to engage in any investment strategy or transaction. Any tools available on the Site are not to be construed as Grandeur Peak providing investment recommendations or advice. You alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, security or strategy or any other product or service, is appropriate or suitable for you based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation. You should consult an attorney or tax professional regarding your specific legal or tax situation.
