Fund Specific Risks

Concentrated Porfolio - Thee fund may invest in a relatively smaller number of stocks. This stock concentration may carry more risk than funds spread across a larger number of companies.

Value of Investments - The value of investments, and any income can fall, as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invested. Neither capital nor income is guaranteed.

Investments Long Term - Investments should be regarded as long term and are not suitable for money which may be needed in the short term, you should always have a sufficient cash reserve.

Umbrella Liabilites - If the liabilities of one fund were to exceed its assets, the other funds within the scheme might have to transfer across money to cover the liabilities.

Returns Are Not Guaranteed - What you receive when you sell your investment is not guaranteed; it depends on how your investments perform.

Inflation - Inflation will reduce the real value of your investments in future.

Taxation and Tax Relief - Levels of taxation and tax relief are subject to change.
