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 Fund's prospectus

Investment in the Fund entails certain risks. Investment returns and principal value of the Fund 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 Fund include:

Concentration risk: The Fund’s portfolio may, at times, be highly concentrated. It should be noted at least 80% of the NAV will be invested in equity or equity related securities in companies located in or having large business activity in Europe. Such concentration may increase the losses suffered by the Fund or reduce its ability to hedge its exposure and to dispose of depreciating assets.
Counterparty and custody risk: The risk that the counterparty could become insolvent, unwilling or unable to meet its obligations, resulting in payments being delayed, reduced or eliminated.
Country risk: Where the Fund invests in a single country, these assets are generally smaller, more sensitive to economic and political factors, and may be less easily traded which could cause a loss to the Fund.
Currency risk: Investments may be denominated in one or more currencies which are different from the Fund's base currency. Currency movements in the investments may significantly affect the net asset value of the Fund.
Derivatives risk: The Fund 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.
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.
ESG investing risk: The Sub-Funds may use certain ESG criteria in their investment strategies. This can limit the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Sub-Funds and this may mean the fund underperforms in relation to other funds that do not have an ESG focus.
Illiquid or restricted securities risk: Certain securities may be hard to value or sell at a particular time due to market illiquidity or restrictions on their resale. Selling illiquid or restricted securities usually requires more time and costs are often higher.
Liquidity risk: The risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.
Management risk: The use of derivative transactions may not achieve anticipated benefits or may realise losses, adversely impacting the Fund, if the Investment Manager is not able to correctly predict price movements, interest rates or currency exchange rate movements and, in addition, does not appropriately understand the derivative or the underlying instrument.
Small/mid-cap equities risk: Equity securities (primarily stocks) of small and mid-size companies can be more volatile and less liquid than equities of larger companies. Small and mid-size companies often have fewer financial resources, shorter operating histories and less diverse business lines and as a result can be at greater risk of long-term or permanent business setbacks. Initial public offerings (IPOs) can be highly volatile and can be hard to evaluate because of a lack of trading history and relative lack of public information.
