SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU INVEST

You should be aware of the potential risks of investing in a currency which is not your base currency and the effect any changes in exchange rate may have, be it up or down, when converting your returns back to your base currency.

The underlying investments may be made in local currencies which are subject to exchange rate fluctuations when converting returns back to the base currency.

This Fund is a medium to long term investment. Therefore we recommend you take at least a five year view and have a sufficient cash reserve so you don't have to draw on your investment in an emergency.

Investors are advised to consider carefully the special risks of investing in emerging market securities. These economies have been and may continue to be affected adversely by economic conditions in the countries in which they trade.
