This Fund cannot be easily cashed in. What happens if VGIL is unable to pay out? The assets of the Fund are held in safekeeping by its depositary. In the event of the insolvency of VGIL, the Fund's assets in the safekeeping of the depositary will not be affected. However, in the event of the depositary's insolvency, or someone acting on its behalf, the Fund may suffer a financial loss. This risk is mitigated to a certain extent by the fact the depositary is required by law and regulation to segregate its own assets from the assets of the Fund. The depositary will also be liable to the Fund and the investors for any loss arising from, among other things, its negligence, fraud or intentional failure to properly fulfil its obligations (subject to certain limitations). There is no compensation or guarantee scheme protecting you from a default of the Fund's depositary. What are the costs? The person advising on or selling you the Fund may charge you other costs.
