Emerging markets risk:Accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards may be less rigorous than international standards. There is a possibility of nationalisation, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, foreign exchange control, political changes, government regulation, social instability or diplomatic developments which could affect adversely the economies of emerging markets or the value of the Fund’s investments.Restricted range of underlying funds:The Fund may only invest in a range of Underlying Funds managed by the Manager or its Connected Persons.Currency risk:The assets in which the Fund is invested and the income from the assets will or may be quoted in currency which are different from the Fund’s base currency. The performance of the Fund will therefore be affected by movements in the exchange rate between the currencies in which the assets are held and Fund’s currency of denomination. Investors whose base currency is different (or not in a currency linked to the Fund’s currency of denomination) may be exposed to additional currency risk.Liquidity risk:The Fund may invest in instruments where the volume of transactions may fluctuate significantly depending on market sentiment.There is a risk that investments made by the Fund may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions.Equity risk:Equity markets may fluctuate significantly with prices rising and falling sharply, and this will have a direct impact on the Fund’s net asset value. When equity markets are extremely volatile, the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate substantially. |
