Important Information

This information is not a personal recommendation for any particular investment. If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment you should speak to an authorised financial adviser. The value of investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the value of investments in overseas markets. Investments in small and emerging markets can also be more volatile than other more developed markets. The trusts may invest more heavily than others in smaller companies, which can carry a higher risk because their share prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies. They can utilise financial derivative instruments for investment purposes, which may expose them to a higher degree of risk and can cause investments to experience larger than average price fluctuations. The shares in the investment trusts are listed on the London Stock Exchange and their price is affected by supply and demand. The investment trusts can gain additional exposure to the market, known as gearing, potentially increasing volatility. Investors should note that the views expressed may no longer be current and may have already been acted upon.
