Putting theory into practice
What are the risks?
Although all investments carry risk, the level of risk is dependent on the type of investment strategy and the underlying investments. Generally, the higher the potential return of an investment, the greater the risk.
The risks of investing in global emerging markets strategies include:
Investment in equities is exposed to risks due to changes in that company or its business environment.
For investments in international assets, which have currency exposure, there is potential for adverse movements in exchange rates to reduce their Australian dollar value.
Emerging markets tend to be more sensitive to economic and political conditions than developed markets. Other factors include greater liquidity risk, restrictions on investment or transfer of assets, failed/delayed settlement and difficulties valuing securities.
Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes.
As with any investment, there are no guarantees on the value of the investment or the income generated from it. Investors may get back less than the original amount invested. For a full description of the terms of investment and the risks, please see the Product Disclosure Statement for each fund.
If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of our funds for your investment needs, please seek financial advice.
