Fund risks
Investment in company shares: The fund invests in
shares of companies, and the value of these shares
can be negatively affected by changes in the company,
its industry or the economy in which it operates.
Emerging markets investment: The fund may invest
in the markets of countries which are smaller, less
developed and regulated, and more volatile than the
markets of more developed countries.
Investment in smaller company shares: The fund
buys shares in smaller companies. It may be difficult to
sell these shares, in which case the fund may not be
able to minimise a loss on such shares.
Concentrated fund: The fund invests in fewer
companies than other funds which invest in shares
usually do. This means that the fund does not spread
its risk as widely as other funds and will therefore be
affected more if an individual company has significant
losses.
Fund currency: Changes in exchange rates between
the currencies of investments held by the fund and the
fund's base currency may negatively affect the value of
an investment and any income received from it.
Derivatives: The use of derivatives can result in
greater fluctuations of the fund's value and may cause
the fund to lose as much as or more than the amount
invested.
Fund operations: The fund is subject to the risk of loss
resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes,
people or systems or those of third parties such as
those responsible for the custody of its assets,
especially to the extent that it invests in developing
countries.
