Overview
Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
The value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount is not guaranteed.
All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company
The Fund may be exposed to finance sector companies, as a service provider or as counterparty for financial contracts. If these companies become insolvent, it may have an adverse affect on the activities of the fund. The value of this Fund does not typically move in line with general market trends and is not expected to reap the full benefits of a rising stock market. Investment strategies employed by the manager may affect the risk profile of the fund, as both positive and negative share movements affect the overall value of the Fund.
