Significant risks of the Funds Investment risk
The Fund has exposure to share markets. The risk of an investment in the Fund is higher than an investment in a typical bank account or fixed income investment. Amounts distributed to unitholders may fluctuate, as may the Fund’s unit price. The unit price may vary by material amounts, even over short periods of time, including during the period between a redemption request being made and the time the redemption unit price is calculated.
Market risk
Share markets can be volatile, and have the potential to fall by large amounts over short periods of time. The investments of the Fund are likely to have a broad correlation with share markets in general, and hence poor performance or losses in domestic and/or global share markets are likely to impact negatively on the overall performance of the Fund.
Concentration risk
The Fund may have exposure to a small number of key investments. This may result in the returns of the Fund being dependent on the returns of individual companies and industry sectors. This concentration of exposures may increase the volatility of the Fund’s unit price, and increase the risk of poor performance. It may also result in the Fund’s returns differing significantly from its benchmark.
International investments risk
The Fund invests in a range of international securities, and in companies that have exposure to a range of international economies. Global and country specific macroeconomic factors may impact the Fund’s international investments. Governments may intervene in markets, industries, and companies; may alter tax and legal regimes; and may act to prevent or limit the repatriation of foreign capital. Such interventions may impact the Fund’s international investments.
Security specific risk
Securities and the companies that issue them are exposed to a range of factors that affect their individual performance. These factors may cause an investment’s return to differ from that of the broader market. The Fund may therefore underperform the market and/or its peers due to its security specific exposures.
Emerging market risk (Applicable for Walter Scott Emerging Markets Fund only)
The Fund has exposure to emerging markets. Emerging markets are generally considered riskier than developed markets due to factors such as lower liquidity, the potential for political unrest, the increased likelihood of sovereign intervention (including default and currency intervention), currency volatility, and increased legal risk. Emerging market investments therefore may experience increased asset price volatility, and face higher currency, default and liquidity risk.
More information on the risks of investing in a Fund is contained in the relevant Product Disclosure Statement, which should be considered before deciding to invest in a Fund.
