Category II Alternative Investment Fund · Investment Manager — Operators IM LLP [ACW-7363]
Thank you for your interest in the website of Operators Fund, accessible at www.operatorsfund.vc, together with any related subdomains, pages, and mobile-optimised versions (the "Website"). Your access to and use of the Website, including all content, materials, and information made available on or through it (together, the "Materials"), is governed by these Terms of Use (these "Terms"). By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please discontinue use of the Website immediately.
This Website is maintained and operated on behalf of Operators Fund ("Operators Fund", "OPF", "we", "us", or "our"), a brand under which the fund and its affiliated entities operate. The Fund is structured as a Category II Alternative Investment Fund registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI") and is managed by Operators IM LLP, acting as the Investment Manager (SEBI AIF Registration No. ACW-7363).
In accordance with industry custom, this Website may from time to time use terminology that could be interpreted to suggest that Operators Fund operates as a single legal entity. This is for convenience only. There is no such single entity, and each entity comprising the Operators Fund ecosystem — including the Investment Manager, the Trustee, the Sponsor, and the Fund itself — has its own separate legal existence, rights, and obligations.
The Website is intended for use by persons who are legally permitted to access such information under the laws of their jurisdiction of residence. By using the Website, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are accessing the Website on behalf of an entity, you represent that you are authorised to bind that entity to these Terms.
Nothing on this Website constitutes, and should not be construed as: (i) an offer, invitation, or solicitation to subscribe for, purchase, or sell any security, unit, interest, or other financial instrument in any jurisdiction; (ii) investment, legal, tax, or financial advice, or an offer to provide such advice; (iii) a recommendation or basis for making any investment decision; or (iv) a commitment or undertaking by Operators Fund, the Investment Manager, or any of their affiliates to invest in, finance, or otherwise support any business, founder, or opportunity.
Units of the Fund are offered only through a Private Placement Memorandum ("PPM") and definitive fund documents, and only to persons eligible to invest under applicable law, including the SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012, as amended. Except as expressly stated in the PPM or other definitive fund documents, or as otherwise specified in writing by a duly authorised representative of Operators Fund, this Website does not purport to present a comprehensive or balanced description of the Fund's investment activities, strategy, or performance.
Past performance of any portfolio company, investment, or strategy referenced on this Website is not indicative of future results. Alternative investments, including investments in a Category II AIF, involve a high degree of risk, including possible loss of the entire amount invested, and are suitable only for investors who can bear such risk for an extended and indefinite period of time.
The Website may contain forward-looking statements regarding the Fund's strategy, target returns, target portfolio composition, sourcing mix, or other expectations. Such statements are based on current assumptions and beliefs and are subject to significant business, economic, regulatory, and market uncertainties. Actual outcomes may differ materially from those expressed or implied. Operators Fund undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
