This is not an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy the securities issued by Hatteras Lower Middle Market Buyouts Fund (the ”Fund”). The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a non-diversified, closed-end investment company designed for long-term investors and is NOT a trading vehicle. An investment in the Fund is speculative and involves substantial risks. It is possible that investors may lose some or all of their investment.
The Fund is a private investment. As such, the Fund invests in private equity investments. In general, private investments involve a high degree of risk, including potential loss of principal invested. These investments can be highly illiquid, charge higher fees than other investments, and typically do not grow at an even rate of return and may decline in value. Private equity investments are speculative investments and are not suitable for all investors, nor do they represent a complete investment program.
The Fund differs from open-end investment companies in that investors do not have the right to redeem their shares daily. Instead, repurchases of shares are subject to the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Fund’s shares represent illiquid securities of an unlisted closed-end fund, are not listed on any securities exchange or traded in any other market and are subject to substantial limitations on transferability. LIQUIDITY IN ANY GIVEN QUARTER IS NOT GUARANTEED. YOU SHOULD NOT INVEST IN THE FUND IF YOU NEED A LIQUID INVESTMENT.
The illustrations are not intended to predict the performance of any specific investment or security. The past performance figures do not represent performance of any Hatteras security and there can be no assurance that any Hatteras security will achieve the past returns of the illustrative examples.
