Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The Fund is not managed to target or exceed the performance of any specific benchmark, nor are investment decisions constrained by any benchmark. However, investors can assess the performance of the Fund against index shown.

The display above shows the performance based on total return net of management fees, but does not reflect sales charges or the effect of taxes. The figures therefore do not reflect the actual return to an investor.

The charges paid by the Fund are used to pay the costs for running the Fund, including the costs of marketing and distributing it. These charges reduce the potential return of your investment. For a complete description and full details of the applicable costs and charges, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus.

The Management Fee is an annual fee paid to the management company to which the management of the Fund has been delegated. Out of this fee, the management company pays the investment management fee to the Investment Manager but also may pay other service providers.

The Performance Fee (if any) is paid to the Investment Manager under certain specific conditions.

The Ongoing Charges are charges taken from the Fund over a year based on expenses for the year. This figure may vary from year to year. It excludes performance fees (if any), portfolio transaction costs, except in the case of an entry/exit charge paid by the Fund, when buying or selling units in another collective investment undertaking. The Ongoing Charges figure can help you compare the annual operating expenses of different funds.

The Entry and Exit Charges shown are maximum figures and are one-off charges taken before or after you invest in the Fund.

Investment Risks to Consider

These and other risks are described in the Portfolio's prospectus

Investment in the Portfolio entails certain risks. Investment returns and principal value of the Portfolio will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Some of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio include:

Allocation risk: The risk that the allocation of investments between growth and value companies may have a more significant effect on the Portfolio’s Net Asset Value (NAV) when one of these strategies is not performing as well as the other. In addition, the transaction costs of rebalancing the investments may, over time, be significant.

Commodity-related risk: Investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may result in greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Their value may be affected by market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or, where specific to a particular industry or commodity, such as extreme weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Corporate debt obligations risk: The risk that a particular issuer may not fulfill its payment and other obligations. In addition, an issuer may experience adverse changes to its financial position or a decrease in its credit rating resulting in increased debt obligation price volatility and negative liquidity. There may also be a higher risk of default.

Derivatives risk: The Portfolio may include financial derivative instruments. These may be used to obtain, increase or reduce exposure to underlying assets and may create gearing; their use may result in greater fluctuations of the net asset value.

Emerging-markets risk: Where the Portfolio invests in emerging markets, these assets are generally smaller and more sensitive to economic and political factors, and may be less easily traded, which could cause a loss to the Portfolio.

Equity securities risk: The value of equity investments may fluctuate in response to the activities and results of individual companies or because of market and economic conditions. These investments may decline over short- or long-term periods.

Fixed-income securities risk: The value of these investments will change in response to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates, as well as changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Also, medium, lower and unrated securities may be subject to wider fluctuations in yield and market values than higher-rated securities.

Lower-rated and unrated instruments risk: These securities are subject to a greater risk of loss of capital and interest, and are usually less liquid and more volatile. Some investments may be in high-yielding fixed-income securities, so the risk of depreciation and capital losses may be unavoidable

OTC derivatives counterparty risk: Transactions in over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets may have generally less governmental regulation and supervision than transactions entered into on organized exchanges. These will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations and that the Portfolio will sustain losses.

Portfolio turnover risk: A portfolio may be actively managed and turnover may, in response to market conditions, exceed 100%. A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases brokerage and other expenses. High portfolio turnover may also result in the realization of substantial net short-term capital gains, which may be taxable when distributed.

Real estate investment trust (REIT) risk: Investing in equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITS, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. REITS depend on management skills, are not diversified, subject to heavy cashflow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation and subject to interest-rate risks.

Smaller capitalization companies risk: Investment in securities of companies with relatively small market capitalizations may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements because the securities are typically traded in lower volume and are subject to greater business risk.

Sovereign debt obligations risk: The risk that government issued debt obligations will be exposed to direct or indirect consequences of political, social and economic changes in various countries. Political changes or the economic status of a country may impact the willingness or ability of a government to honour its payment obligations.

Structured investments risk: These types of instruments are potentially more volatile and carry greater market risks than traditional debt instruments, depending on the structure. Changes in a benchmark may be magnified by the terms of the structured instrument and have an even more dramatic and substantial effect upon its value. These instruments may be less liquid and more difficult to price than less complex instruments.
