      Specific fund risks

      Currency exchange

      Changes in the relative values of different currencies may adversely affect the value of investments and any related income.

      Default

      There is a risk that the issuers of fixed income investments (e.g. bonds) may not be able to meet interest payments nor repay the money they have borrowed. The worse the credit quality of the issuer, the greater the risk of default and therefore investment loss.

      Derivatives

      The use of derivatives is not intended to increase the overall level of risk. However, the use of derivatives may still lead to large changes in value and includes the potential for large financial loss. A counterparty to a derivative transaction may fail to meet its obligations which may also lead to a financial loss.

      Emerging market

      These markets carry a higher risk of financial loss than more developed markets as they may have less developed legal, political, economic or other systems.

      Foreign Investment

      Investing in foreign securities may be subject to specific material risks pertaining to overseas jurisdictions and markets, including (but not limited to) potential constraints to local liquidity and the repatriation of funds, macroeconomic, political, tax, settlement risks, potential limitations on available market information and foreign exchange or currency fluctuations.

      Interest rate

      The value of fixed income investments (e.g. bonds) tends to decrease when interest rates rise.
