5.21 RISK FACTORS
The value of an investment generally will fluctuate in response to market conditions, as every type of
investment involves an element of risk. A summary of the major risks that can significantly affect the
Fund’s performance, and should therefore be considered when investing in the Fund, are listed below:
i. Political Risks: Future changes in the political environment may have a material adverse effect on the
business environment. Regional instability and unrest in Nigeria, particularly in the Northern Part of
Nigeria may have material adverse effect on public safety. Emerging markets such as Nigeria are
17 | P a g e
Futureview Dollar Fund | In itia l Public Offer
generally subject to greater risk than more developed markets and actual and perceived risks
associated with emerging economies could negatively impact the price of FGN and Sub-Sovereign
Eurobonds.
ii. Economic Risks: The Nigerian economy is almost solely dependent on its oil sector, and any changes
in oil production or global oil prices will have a wide reaching impact on all other sectors of the
Nigerian economy, including the Dollar earning ability of the FGN.
iii. Currency Risk: Movement in exchange rates could result in a devaluation of the Dollar, which may
affect the value of the underlying assets and in turn have a negative impact on the yields of the Fund.
iv. Interest Rate: The Fund’s performance may be impacted by adverse movement in interest rates which
can impact the value of securities which the Fund holds. Interest rate risk refers to the probability that
market interest rates will rise significantly higher than the interest rate earned on investments such as
bonds, resulting in lower market value. Interest rates have the biggest effect on debt instruments as
they are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Depending on the Fund’s portfolio mix, short-
term and long-term interest rates movements have a converse relationship with the value of securities
within the portfolio and ultimately, the performance of the Fund.
v. Credit Risk: There is a risk that the issuer of the securities will default or otherwise become unable
to honour a financial obligation, and as a result the value of the investment could decline. The price
and liquidity of a security can also be adversely affected as credit status deteriorates and the probability
of default rises.
vi. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to meet short term financial
demands. This usually occurs due to the inability to convert a security or hard asset to cash without a
loss of capital and/or income in the process.
vii. Regulatory Risk: The Fund is subject to various forms of regulations. These regulations may have
an adverse effect on the Fund. The CBN may from time to time, issue new regulations and guidelines
which may have a direct or indirect impact on foreign currency domiciled securities which the Fund
will invest in. Regulations issued by the CBN to defend the currency, manage the country’s external
reserves, inflation or spur economic growth may negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
Additionally, regulators such as the SEC and The NSE may from time to time issue circulars that may
also impact the Fund’s performance. These regulations may inadvertently, lead to higher cost impact
on the Fund. This risk may arise from the possible breach of regulatory guidelines or requirements.
There is also the risk that possible amendments to the local and foreign legislation (including tax
legislation), may cause additional expenses for the Fund.
viii. Investment/Loss Risk: Investments in capital markets are generally volatile and there is no assurance
that any projected returns would be achieved. The Fund Manager shall use its skills and expertise to
invest the Funds in safe and secured investments but does not take responsibility nor provide any
assurance or guarantee that any objective or any particular returns would be achieved.
ix. Operational Risk: Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal
processes, people and systems or from external events such as third party fraud. Fund Manager
recognizes the significance of operational risk, which is inherent in all areas of its business. Any lapse
due to operational risk that could result in losses could affect the Fund Manager’s ability to meet its
obligations.
5.22 BENCHMARK OF THE FUND
The Fund shall be benchmarked against the yield of the prevailing five-year Federal Government of
Nigeria Eurobond with a high-water mark. The benchmark will be relevant for 5 years and will be reviewed
afterwards.
18 | P a g e
Futureview Dollar Fund | In itia l Public Offer
5.23 RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
The Fund manager will adopt a robust risk management framework and will ensure that the risk factors
mentioned above are monitored on a regular basis in order to minimize their potential effect on the fund’s
value. The under-listed elements of the Risk Management Framework shall be put in place by the Fund
Manager:
I. The Fund Manager shall from time to time stress test the portfolio using various simulation scenarios
to show any potential risk that could impact the Fund. The result of the test shall be reported to the
investment committee
II. The Fund Manager shall ensure that the Fund’s assets are adequately diversified among the approved
asset classes. In the case of fixed income instruments, the credit ratings of approved Issuers will also
be monitored on an on-going basis.
