| Fund Specific Risks |
-
Emerging Markets - The fund invests in emerging markets. Generally less well regulated than the UK. There
is an increased chance of political and economic instability with less reliable custody, dealing and settlement
arrangements. The market(s) can be less liquid. If a fund investing in markets is affected by currency exchange rates,
the investment could either increase or decrease. These investments therefore carry more risk.
-
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.
-
Exchange Rate - This fund invests in securities outside the UK. The value of investments and any income from
them may therefore decrease or increase as a result of changes in exchange rates between currencies.
-
Derivative Exposure - The fund invests in derivatives as part of its investment strategy, over and above their
use for Efficient Portfolio Management (EPM). Investors should be aware that the use of these instruments can, under
certain circumstances, increase the volatility and risk profile of the Fund beyond that expected of a fund that only
invests in equities. The fund may also be exposed to the risk that the company issuing the derivative may not honour their
obligations which in turn could lead to losses arising.
