Key risks
Investment risk
CURRENCY RISK
Effect of Portfolio Concentration
The Fund has a concentrated portfolio (holds a limited number of investments and/or has a restricted investment universe) and if one or more of these investments declines or is otherwise affected, it may have a pronounced effect on the fund’s value.
DERIVATIVES FOR EPM / HEDGING
HIGH VOLATILITY RISK
The fund typically carries a risk of high volatility due to its portfolio composition or the portfolio management techniques used. This means that the fund’s value is likely to fall and rise more frequently and this could be more pronounced than with other funds.
Sustainable Investment Criteria
The Fund aims to invest in companies which deliver sustainable outcomes and in doing so adheres to a set of Sustainable Investment Guidelines. The Guidelines will affect the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors, which may impact the performance of the Fund positively or negatively relative to a benchmark or other funds without such restrictions.
