Frequently asked questions

A higher level of risk could bring the potential for greater growth, but there's also more chance that your investment could go down in value.

When choosing an investment, you should consider the level of risk you're willing to take and your capacity for loss. How comfortable would you feel if your investments fell in value? How would a loss impact your finances in the short term? In the long term?

If you're not sure about investing or how much risk is appropriate for you, please seek financial advice.

Each fund has a designated risk category. To keep within this risk category, the fund manager continuously tracks the performance of individual assets, using his or her understanding of the market to adjust the holdings in the fund.

The fund manager's goal is always to maximise the return within the fund's designated level of risk.

Additional information

Remember, the value of investments is not guaranteed - you may not get back the amount you invested, and any income received from them can fall as well as rise. This could also result from changes in currency exchange rates, particularly where overseas securities are held or where investments are converted from one currency to another. We always recommend that any investments should be considered as medium to long-term holdings of least 5 years.

Economies in emerging markets generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may continue to be affected adversely by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade.
