Read the ““Risk Descriptions” section in the prospectus carefully before investing in the funds, with special attention to the following:
Covered bonds: Usually issued by financial institutions, backed by a pool of assets (typically, but not exclusively, mortgages and public sector debt) that secure or “cover” the bond if the issuer becomes insolvent. With covered bonds the assets being used as collateral remain on the issuer’s balance sheet, giving bondholders additional recourse against the issuer in case of default. In addition to carrying credit, default and interest rate risks, covered bonds could face the risk that the collateral set aside to secure bond principal could decline in value. Derivatives: Small movements in the value of an underlying asset can create large changes in the value of a derivative, making derivatives highly volatile in general, and exposing the fund to potential losses significantly greater than the cost of the derivative. Hedging: Any attempts to reduce or eliminate certain risks may not work as intended, and to the extent that they do work, they will generally eliminate potentials for gain along with risks of loss. Hedging involves costs, which impact investment performance. Leverage: The fund’s high net exposure to certain investments could make its share price more volatile. To the extent that the fund uses leverage to increase its net exposure to any market, rate, basket of securities or other financial reference source, fluctuations in the price of the reference source will be amplified at the fund level and, as such, may lead to important losses.
Any investment decision in the sub-finds should be made on the basis of the current prospectus and the Key Information Document (KID) or the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) for UK investors.
