All rights in the Information are reserved by MSCI and its Information Providers and user(s) shall not, nor assist others to, challenge or assert any rights in the Information.Unless you contact MSCI and receive its prior written permission, you must NOT use the Information, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part (i) for commercial purposes, (ii) in a manner that competes with MSCI or impacts its ability to commercialize the Information or its services, (iii) to provide a service to a third party, (iv) to permit a third party to directly or indirectly access, use or resell the Information, (v) to redistribute or resell the Information in any form, (vi) to include the Information in any materials for public dissemination such as fund factsheets, market presentations, prospectuses, and investor information documents (e.g. KIIDs or KIDs), (vii) to create or as a component of any financial products, whether listed or traded over the counter or on a private placement basis or otherwise, (viii) to create any indexes, ratings or other data products, including in derivative works combined with other indexes or data or as a policy, product or performance benchmarks for active, passive or other financial products, (ix) to populate a database, or (x) to train, use as an input to, or otherwise in connection with any artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language models or similar technologies except as licensed and expressly authorized under MSCI’s AI Contracting Supplement at https://www.msci.com/legal/supplemental-terms-for-client-use-of-artificial-intelligence.The intellectual property rights of MSCI and its Information Providers may not be misappropriated or used in a competitive manner through the use of third-party data or financial products linked to the Information, including by using an MSCI index-linked future or option in a competing third-party index to provide an exposure to the underlying MSCI index or by using an MSCI index-linked ETF to create a financial product that provides an exposure to the underlying MSCI index without obtaining a license from MSCI.The user or recipient of the Information assumes the entire risk of any use it may make, permit or cause to be made of the Information. NONE OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDERS MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE INFORMATION (OR THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED BY THE USE THEREOF), AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH INFORMATION PROVIDER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ORIGINALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, SUITABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, COMPLETENESS, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE INFORMATION. Without limiting any of the foregoing and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall MSCI or any other Information Provider have any liability arising out of or relating to any of the Information, including for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, consequential (including lost profits) or any other damages, even if notified of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing shall not exclude or limit any liability that may not by applicable law be excluded or limited.The Information, including index construction, ratings, historical data, or analysis, is not a prediction or guarantee of future performance, and must not be relied upon as such. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The Information may contain back tested data. Back-tested performance based on back-tested data is not actual performance but is hypothetical. There are frequently material differences between back tested performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any investment strategy. The Information may include “Signals,” defined as quantitative attributes or the product of methods or formulas that describe or are derived from calculations using historical data. Signals are inherently backward-looking because of their use of historical data, and they are inherently inaccurate, not intended to predict the future and must not be relied upon as such. The relevance, correlations and accuracy of Signals frequently change materially over time.The Information may include data relating to indicative prices, evaluated pricing or other information based on estimates or evaluations (collectively, “Evaluations”) that are not current and do not reflect real-time traded prices. No evaluation method, including those used by the Information Providers, may consistently generate evaluations or estimates that correspond to actual “traded” prices of any relevant securities or other assets. Evaluations are subject to change at any time without notice and without any duty to update or inform you, may not reflect prices at which actual transactions or collateral calls may occur or have occurred. The market price of securities, financial instruments, and other assets can be determined only if and when executed in the market. There may be no, or may not have been any, secondary trading market for the relevant securities, financial instruments or other assets. Private capital, equity, credit and other assets and their prices may be assessed infrequently, may not be priced on a secondary market, and shall not be relied upon as an explicit or implicit valuation of a particular instrument. Any reliance on fair value estimates and non-market inputs introduces potential biases and subjectivity. Internal Rate of Return metrics are not fully representative without full disclosure of fund cash flows, assumptions, and time horizons.The Information does not constitute, and must not be relied upon as, investment advice, credit ratings, or proxy advisory or voting services. None of the Information Providers, their products or services, are fiduciaries or make any recommendation, endorsement, or approval of any investment decision or asset allocation. Likewise, the Information does not represent an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or an endorsement of any security, financial product, instrument, investment vehicle, or trading strategy, whether or not linked to or in any way based on any MSCI index, rating, subcomponent, or other Information (collectively, “Linked Investments”).The Information should not be relied on and is not a substitute for the skill, judgment and experience of any user when making investment and other business decisions. MSCI is not responsible for any user’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. All Information is impersonal, not tailored to the needs of any person, entity or group of persons, not objectively verifiable in every respect, and may not be based on information that is important to any user.It is not possible to invest in an index. Exposure to an asset class or trading strategy or other category represented by an index is only available through third party investable instruments (if any) based on that index. MSCI makes no assurance that any Linked Investments will accurately track index performance or provide positive investment returns. Index returns do not represent results of actual trading of investible assets/securities. MSCI maintains and calculates indexes but does not manage assets. The calculation of indexes and index returns may deviate from the stated methodology. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase securities underlying the index or Linked Investments. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause the performance of a Linked Investment to be different than the MSCI index performance.Information provided by MSCI Solutions LLC and certain related entities (“MSCI Solutions”), including materials utilized in MSCI sustainability and climate products, have not been submitted to, nor received approval from any regulatory body. MSCI sustainability and climate offerings, research and data are produced by, and ratings are solely the opinion of MSCI Solutions. Other MSCI products and services may utilize information from MSCI Solutions, Barra LLC or other affiliates. More information can be found in the relevant methodologies on www.msci.com. MSCI Indexes are administered by MSCI Limited (UK) and MSCI Deutschland GmbH. No regulated use of any MSCI private real assets indexes in any jurisdiction is permitted without MSCI’s express written authorization. The process for applying for MSCI’s express written authorization can be found at: https://www.msci.com/index-regulation.MSCI receives compensation in connection with licensing its indexes and other Information to third parties. MSCI Inc.’s revenue includes fees based on assets in Linked Investments. Information can be found in MSCI Inc.’s company filings on the Investor Relations section of msci.com. Issuers mentioned in MSCI Solutions materials or their affiliates may purchase research or other products or services from one or more MSCI affiliates, manage financial products such as mutual funds or ETFs rated by MSCI Solutions or its affiliates or are based on MSCI Indexes. Constituents of MSCI equity indexes are listed companies, which are included in or excluded from the indexes according to the application of the relevant index methodologies. Constituents in MSCI Inc. equity indexes may include MSCI Inc., clients of MSCI or suppliers to MSCI. MSCI Solutions has taken steps to mitigate potential conflicts of interest and safeguard the integrity and independence of its research and ratings.MIFID2/MIFIR notice: MSCI Solutions does not distribute or act as an intermediary for financial instruments or structured deposits, nor does it deal on its own account, provide execution services for others or manage client accounts. No MSCI product or service supports, promotes or is intended to support or promote any such activity. MSCI Solutions is an independent provider of sustainability and climate data.
