Important information Risk factors you should consider prior to investing: Movements in exchange rates can impact on both the level of income received and the capital value of your investment. If the currency of your country of residence strengthens against the currency in which the underlying investments of the Trust are made, the value of your investment will reduce and vice versa. The value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to the future. The Fund invests a proportion of its assets in corporate bonds which are affected by changes in interest rates, inflation and any decline in the creditworthiness of the issuer. Increases in long-term interest rates and any default or reduced credit rating of an issuer will tend to reduce the capital value of bonds. There is no guarantee that the market price of shares in the Trust will fully reflect their underlying Net Asset Value. As with all stock exchange investments the value of investment trust shares purchased will immediately fall by the difference between the buying and selling prices, the bid-offer spread.
