| Fund Specific Risks |
-
Charges to Capital - Part, or all of the periodic annual management fee(s) and expenses may be charged to
capital which could increase the potential for the capital value of your investment to be eroded. Your capital could
also decrease if income withdrawals exceed the growth rate of the fund(s).
-
Smaller Companies - The fund invests in smaller companies. Smaller companies shares can be more volatile
and less liquid than larger company shares, so smaller companies funds can carry more risk.
-
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.
