Funds investing in emerging markets may involve a higher risk and loss to the value of your investment than those investing in developed markets. In particular, increased political, regulatory and economic instability, less developed custody and settlement practices, poor transparency and less developed banking practices. This may not provide the same level of investment protection for investors. Fixed income securities are exposed to changes in interest rates which will affect the value of any securities held. If rates go up, the value of fixed income securities fall; if rates go down, the value of fixed income securities rise.
The fund invests in high yielding bonds. Companies who issue higher yield bonds typically have an increased risk of defaulting on repayments. Economic conditions and interest rate levels may also impact significantly the values of high yield bonds. The fund may invest in securities whereby the issuing company has a high risk of defaulting on their interest payments, capital repayment or both. In the event of default, the value of the investment may reduce.
The value of derivatives can be highly sensitive to changes in market values and may cause a loss greater than the amount invested on individual derivative investments. The total losses cannot be more than the net asset value of the Fund. The fund may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management, hedging, and for investment purposes. Investment in derivatives may include currency forwards and currency futures; interest rate futures; interest rate and currency swaps; options; and credit default swaps.
Hedging transactions are designed to reduce, as much as possible, the currency risk for investors. However, there is no guarantee that the hedging will be totally successful and no hedging strategy can eliminate currency risk entirely.
The value of investments and any income from them may go down as well as up and are not guaranteed. Investors may get back less than the original amount invested and past performance information is not a guide to future performance.
