RisksThe value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up so you may get back less than you invest.

Bond investments

These funds invests in bonds whose price is influenced by movements in interest rates, changes in the credit rating of bond issuers, and other factors

such as inflation and market dynamics. In general, as interest rates rise the price of a bond will fall. The risk of default is based on the issuer's ability

to make interest payments and to repay the loan at maturity. Default risk may, therefore, vary between different government issuers as well as

between different corporate issuers.

Corporate bonds

Due to the greater possibility of default an investment in a corporate bond is generally less secure than an investment in government bonds.

High yield bonds

Sub-investment grade bonds are considered riskier bonds. They have an increased risk of default which could affect both income and the capital value

of the Fund investing in them.

Overseas Markets

These funds invests in overseas markets and so the value of investments can be affected by changes in currency exchange rates.

Currency Hedging

Currency hedging is used to substantially reduce the risk of losses from unfavourable exchange rate movements on holdings in currencies that differ

from the dealing currency. Hedging also has the effect of limiting the potential for currency gains to be made.

Emerging Markets

These funds invests in emerging markets which can be more volatile than other more developed markets.

Derivatives

These funds may make increased and more complicated use of derivatives and this may result in leverage. In such situations performance may rise or

fall more than it would have done otherwise. These funds may be exposed to the risk of financial loss if a counterparty used for derivative instruments

subsequently defaults.

Other

The funds do not offer any guarantee or protection with respect to return, capital preservation, stable net asset value or volatility. Reference to specific

securities should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell these securities and is included for the purposes of illustration only. Investors

should note that the views expressed may no longer be current and may have already been acted upon.

Wichtige Informationen Diese Informationen richten sich ausschließlich an professionelle Anleger – nicht an Privatkunden. Die Vervielfältigung und Verbreitung dieser Informationen sind

nicht ohne eine vorherige Genehmigung erlaubt. Die genannten Unternehmen / gezeigten Logos dienen zu rein illustrativen Zwecken. Dies stellt keine

Aufforderung zum Kauf oder Verkauf der jeweiligen Werte dar. Die genannten Unternehmen zählen ggf. nicht zu den Fondsbeständen. Top Holdings zeigen

Wertpapiere in die prozentual die größten Teile des Fondsvermögens investiert sind. Wertentwicklungen in der Vergangenheit sind keine Indikatoren für

zukünftige Erträge. Der Wert der Anteile kann schwanken und wird nicht garantiert. Fremdwährungsanlagen sind Wechselkursschwankungen unterworfen.

Anlagen in Schwellenländern können volatiler sein als solche in höher entwickelten Märkten. Der Kurs von Anleihen wird durch Zinssatzänderungen, Änderungen

der Bonität von Anleiheemittenten und andere Faktoren wie Inflation und Marktdynamik beeinflusst. Im Allgemeinen wird der Kurs einer Anleihe fallen, wenn die

Zinsen steigen. Das Ausfallrisiko gibt die Fähigkeit des Emittenten wieder, Zinszahlungen zu leisten und das Darlehen bei Fälligkeit zurückzuzahlen. Es kann sich

daher bei verschiedenen staatlichen Emittenten sowie verschiedenen Unternehmensemittenten unterscheiden. Die Nennung von Einzeltiteln dient ausschließlich

der Illustration und ist nicht als Kauf- oder Verkaufsempfehlung zu verstehen. Der Fondsmanager wird die Aktien, die das Fondsportfolio zum Zeitpunkt der

Auflegung bilden, einzeln auswählen. Die gezeigten Einzelwerte könnten zu dieser Auswahl gehören. Der Fondsmanager wird die Renten, die das Fondsportfolio

zum Zeitpunkt der Auflegung bilden, einzeln auswählen. Die gezeigten Einzelwerte könnten zu dieser Auswahl gehören. Die Skala gilt für Investitionen in Euro.
