Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested.  

The volatility of fund unit prices may be increased  or even strongly increased.  Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. If the currency in which the past performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which the investor resides, then the investor should be aware that due to the exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may be higher or lower if converted into the investor’s local currency.
