Risks

The value of your investment may rise or fall, and your capital is at risk.

Any investment in an investment trust involves risk. You should be aware of the following risks when considering investing:

Past performance
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns and does not guarantee future results.

The value of your investment
The value of shares, and any income from them, can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested.

Market volatility
The value of the Company and any income from it can fall or rise because of movements in stock markets, currencies and interest rates, each of which can move irrationally and be affected unpredictably by diverse factors, including political and economic events.

Emerging and Developing Markets
Emerging and developing markets can face significant political, economic or structural challenges. The portfolio may experience delays in buying, selling and claiming ownership of investments and there is an increased risk that the portfolio may not get back the money invested.

Concentration
In view of the concentrated nature of the portfolio, the level of risk is expected to be higher than for broader based portfolios and the value may be more volatile.

Smaller companies
Securities of smaller companies may be less liquid, and exhibit more volatile returns, than the securities of larger companies.

Currency
The Company’s assets may be priced in currencies other than the portfolio base currency. Changes in currency exchange rates can therefore affect the Company’s value.

Charges from capital
Where charges are taken wholly or partly out of the Company’s capital, distributable income may be increased at the expense of capital, which may constrain or erode capital growth.

Leverage
The Company may operate with a significant amount of leverage. Leverage occurs when the economic exposure created by the use of derivatives is greater than the amount invested. Leverage may result in large fluctuations in the Company’s value and therefore entails a high degree of risk including the risk that losses may be substantial.
