Key Risks
Investing in emerging markets may involve a higher element of risk due to political and economic instability and underdeveloped markets and systems, and may be illiquid.
Exchange rate changes may cause the value of underlying overseas investments to be volatile.
Investments in smaller companies may involve a higher degree of risk as these are usually more sensitive to price movements.
Some investment trusts may have warrants or subscription shares in issue, which if exercised may have an effect on the net asset value.
Investment trusts may utilise gearing which will exaggerate market movements both down and up which could mean sudden and large falls in value. For further details, please refer to the trust’s annual report and accounts.

not get back as much as you paid in. Tax benefits and liabilities depend on individual
circumstances and may change in the future.Past performance is not a guide to the
