Important Information
▪ The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount invested.
▪ Funds are subject to charges and expenses. Charges and expenses reduce the potential growth of your investment. This means you could get back less than you paid in. The
costs may increase or decrease as a result of currency and exchange rate fluctuations. Please note that not all costs are presented, further information on costs can be found in
the Prospectus.
▪ This Fund invests in overseas markets and the value of investments can be affected by changes in currency exchange rates
▪ This Fund invests in emerging markets which can be more volatile than other more developed markets
▪ The Fund may make increased and more complicated use of derivatives, and this may result in leverage. In such situations performance may rise or fall more than it would have
done otherwise. The fund may be exposed to the risk of financial loss if a counterparty used for derivative instruments subsequently defaults.
▪ Reference to specific securities should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell these securities and is included for the purposes of illustration only
▪ The Fund does not offer any guarantee or protection with respect to return, capital preservation, stable net asset value or volatility
▪ Investors should note that the views expressed may no longer be current and may have already been acted upon
▪ Past performance is not a reliable predictor of future returns. The Fund’s returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations.
Please refer to the Prospectus and KID of the fund before making any final investment decisions. The investment which is promoted concerns the
acquisition of units or shares in a fund and not in a given underlying asset owned by the fund. Complete information on risks can be found in the
Prospectus.
