The value of investments, and the income from them, may fall or rise and investors may get back less than they invested. The value of any investment may fall or rise as a result of change in exchange rates. Some funds invest in emerging markets which can be more volatile than more established markets. As a result the value of any investment may rise or fall. Corporate bonds may provide higher yields but as such may carry greater credit risk increasing the risk of default on repayment and erosion of the capital value of your investment. The level of income may fluctuate and movements in interest rates are likely to affect the capital value of bonds.. Funds investing in fixed interest securities carry the risk of default on repayment and erosion of the capital value of your investment and the level of income may fluctuate. Movements in interest rates are likely to affect the capital value of fixed interest securities. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in well-established blue chip companies. Some funds may invest in derivatives. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. There is no assurance that any derivative strategy used by any fund will succeed and a fund may suffer a substantial loss as a result. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
