An investment in the BMO Carlyle Private Equity Strategies Fund, a trust established under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the “Fund”) described hereby is speculative. A subscription for units of the Fund should be considered only by persons financially able to maintain their investment and who can bear the risk of loss associated with an investment in the Fund. Prospective investors should consult with their own independent professional legal, tax, investment and financial advisors before purchasing units of the Fund in order to determine the appropriateness of this investment in relation to their financial and investment objectives and in relation to the tax consequences of any such investment. Prospective investors should consider the risks described in the confidential offering memorandum (OM) of the Fund before purchasing units of the Fund. Any or all of these risks, or other as yet unidentified risks, may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s business and/or the return to investors. See “Investment Objective, Investment Strategy and Certain Risks” in the OM of the Fund. In addition to the risks described in the OM of the Fund, the Fund will bear certain risks associated with investment into strategies run by Carlyle AlpInvest (meaning the Carlyle Group Inc., together with its affiliates, also referred to as the “Carlyle Group” or “Carlyle”), i.e., the strategies explored by Carlyle AlpInvest through Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets Sub-Fund – I, a sub-fund of Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets SICAV – UCI Part II, multi-compartment investment company with variable capital (société d’investissement à capital variable) established as a public limited liability company (société anonyme) in accordance with the law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies and registered under Part II of the Luxembourg Law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investment (the “Master Fund”, the alternative investment fund manager of the Master Fund being AlpInvest Partners B.V., or “AlpInvest”) in proportion to the amount of the Fund’s investment in the Master Fund. Prospective investors in the Fund should therefore carefully consider the risks described under “Certain Risk Factors and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in the prospectus of the Master Fund.
