      Specific fund risks

      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.

      Interest rate

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