Past performance of a fund is no guarantee as to its performance in the future. Changes in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of the product. Independent financial advice should be sought as not all investments are suitable for all investors. Collective Investment Schemes are generally medium to long-term investments. The value of participatory interests may go down as well as up and past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future. Fluctuations or movements in exchange rates may cause the value of underlying investments to go up or down. The fund is traded at ruling forward. The fund price is calculated on a net asset basis, which is the total value of all assets in the portfolio including any income and expenses accruals. Trail commission and incentives may be paid and are for the account of the manager.
