Risk Warnings

Stockmarkets and currency movements may cause the value of investments and the income from them to fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount they originally invested.

Past performance is not a guide to future returns.

Where investments are made in markets considered to be 'emerging', unquoted securities or smaller companies, their potential volatility may increase the risk to the value of, and the income from, the investment. Emerging market funds are only suitable for those investors who are prepared to accept the above average volatility inherent in investments in emerging markets.

The dealing price of funds may include a dilution levy or adjustment, further details of which are available in the Prospectus.

Some funds may invest in complex financial instruments known as derivatives. Where this occurs there are additional risks associated with investments (made directly or through investment vehicles which invest) in such derivatives.
