The order in which the different sections of the Prospectus are presented must adhere to this instruction, except for particular cases that require a different order and are previously authorized by the Commission.

In preparing the Prospectus, clear and easy-to-understand language must always be used, avoiding technical terms or complicated legal formalisms that cannot be easily understood by a person who does not have specialized knowledge in the subject matter.

This principle must be followed at all times in the preparation of the Prospectus when determining the depth and breadth with which the various topics established in this instruction must be developed.

It is the responsibility of the Investment Funds, as well as the persons who sign the document, to determine what information is considered relevant in the context of the particular characteristics of each Investment Fund, taking into account both quantitative and qualitative factors.
