For example, where you apply to invest in a Fund or other products, we may collect personal information regarding you from any registry services provider appointed in respect of a Fund or product. At times, and only where necessary and consented to by you, we may even collect information about you from other parties, such as a lawyer or accountant.

We may answer you in the same way that you ask. For example, if you telephone to ask for the information we will may give you that information over the telephone. We will generally respond to a written request in writing. Sometimes we will ask that you put your request in writing. For example, where you want copies of material or access to older information or files which are not current, or it is necessary for us to retain records of your request. If any of the personal information we hold about you is incorrect, inaccurate or out of date you may request that we correct the information. You should inform us in the case of wrong or out of date information so that we can change or update the information.
To obtain access to or correction of your personal information, we may request that you provide us with proof of your identity, to our satisfaction. This is necessary to ensure that personal information is provided only to the correct individuals and that the privacy of others is protected.

Unless we disagree with you about the accuracy, currency or completeness of a record, we will generally correct it if requested, (or suggest alternative arrangements for updating our records). If we disagree with you, we will give you our reasons and record your objections on file.
After our investigation, we will take all reasonable steps to notify you of our decision and (if applicable) provide the relevant access or make the relevant correction within 30 days from the date of receipt your request. In less complex cases, we will attempt to notify you of our decision and (if applicable) provide the relevant access or make the relevant correction within 14 days from the date of receipt of your request.
If appropriate we may even correct the personal information at the time of the request. We may need to consult with other bodies or entities as part of our corrective investigation. If we refuse to correct personal information we will provide you with our reasons for not correcting the information.
There are certain conditions under which we may refuse you access to your personal information, such as when your request may unreasonably impact upon another person’s right to privacy, if the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, or if your request is vexatious. An explanation will be provided to you if we deny you access to the personal we hold about you.
We will not charge a fee for making a request to access your personal information, however, in some circumstances a fee may be charged for our costs of retrieving, providing access to, or supplying the information to you.
