FUND FACTS Timbercreek Global Real Estate Income Fund Series AX HOW RISKY IS IT?
RISK RATING
The value of the Fund can go down as well as up. You could lose money.
Timbercreek has rated the volatility of this Fund as medium.
One way to gauge risk is to look at how much a fund’s returns change over time. This is called "volatility". In general, funds with higher volatility will have returns that change more over time. They typically have a greater chance of losing money and may have a greater chance of higher returns. Funds with lower volatility tend to have returns that change less over time. They typically have lower returns and may have a lower chance of losing money.
This rating is based on how much the Fund’s returns have changed from year to year. It doesn’t tell you how volatile the Fund will be in the future. The rating can change over time. A fund with a low risk rating can still lose money.
