Key Risks
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested. Where funds are invested in real estate / infrastructure, investors may not be able to switch or cash in an investment when they want because real estate/infrastructure may not always be readily saleable. If this is the case we may defer a request to switch or cash in shares or units. Investors should also bear in mind that the valuation of real estate is generally a matter of valuers’ opinion rather than fact.
Sustainable Investing Risk
The level of sustainability risk to which the Fund is exposed, and therefore the value of its investments, may fluctuate depending on the investment opportunities identified by the Investment Manager.
