Fund specific risks
- Currency Hedging Risk: Hedging currency risks may protect investors against a decrease in the value of the Reference Currency relative to the Hedged Share Class, but it may also preclude investors from benefiting from an increase in the value of such currencies. All costs and gains/losses of hedging transactions are borne by the relevant Hedged Share Classes
- Currency Risk: Sub-Funds are invested in securities denominated in different currencies other than the Reference Currency. As a result, changes in the value of the Reference Currency compared to other currencies will affect the value in the Reference Currency of any securities denominated in another currency
- Derivative Risk: Derivative instruments are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying asset that they are based on. Certain derivatives may result in losses greater than the amount originally invested
- International Investment Risk: Investments on an international basis are subject to uncertainties, including; changes in government policies, taxation, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, accounting and financial reporting standards, and fluctuations in value due to discrepancy of currency
- Large Shareholder Risk: Investors holding a large portion of issued and outstanding shares of a Sub-Fund are likely to incur transaction costs in case of redemptions
- Market Risk: The market value of a Sub-Fund’s investments will fluctuate based on specific company developments, broader equity or fixed-income market conditions, economic and financial conditions
- Specialization Risk: Sub-Funds specializing in a particular sector may lead to underperformance relative to less specialized investments
