Key risks
Risks – the following risks are materially relevant to the funds (refer to prospectus for further details):
Country risk (China) – all investments in China are subject to risks similar to those for other emerging markets investments. In addition, investments that are purchased or held in connection with a QFII license or the Stock Connect program may be subject to additional risks.Country risk (Russia and Ukraine) – in these countries, risks associated with custody and counterparties are higher than in developed countries.Currency risk – changes in currency exchange rates could reduce investment gains or increase investment losses. Emerging markets risk – emerging markets are less established than developed markets and therefore involve higher risks. Small and mid-cap risk – stocks of small and mid-size companies can be more volatile than stocks of larger companies.Style risk – different investment styles typically go in and out of favour depending on market conditions and investor sentiment.
General Fund Risks
Capital risk – the value of your investment will vary and is not guaranteed. It will be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the base currency of the fund and the currency in which you subscribed, if different.Equity risk – in general, equities involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments.Geographic concentration risk – to the extent that a fund invests a large portion of its assets in a particular geographic area, its performance will be more strongly affected by events within that area.Hedging risk – a fund’s attempts to reduce or eliminate certain risks through hedging may not work as intended.Investment fund risk – investing in funds involves certain risks an investor would not face if investing in markets directly.Management risk – the investment manager or its designees may at times find their obligations to a fund to be in conflict with their obligations to other investment portfolios they manage (although in such cases, all portfolios will be dealt with equitably).Operational risk – operational failures could lead to disruptions of fund operations or financial losses.

Citywire take into account the complete stable of managers a group currently has in a sector. All the individuals’ risk adjusted performance over a seven year period are factored in, as are moves people have made and changes in responsibility. The ratings are calculated over seven years and based on an average of their managers’ three year rolling risk-adjusted returns. Where managers have moved, their track records will follow them. A final score is generated for each group, on a sector by sector basis, with current stable of managers taken into account. Those delivering excellent levels of outperformance are placed in the ratings pool. Ratings areawarded to any group that is at least one third ahead of the average score. Within this top group, 10% receive a platinum rating, the next 20% a gold rating, the next 30% a silver rating, and the remaining 40% a bronze rating.
