It is recommended that an investment in the fund should not constitute a substantial proportion of an investment portfolio and may not be appropriate for all investors. The fund intends to pursue an actively managed investment strategy.

The financial derivative instruments used may be forward foreign exchange contracts, currency futures, interest rate futures and interest rate swaps. The sovereign fixed income securities in which the fund may invest may be in developed or emerging markets countries (including Russia), will be issued by governments, local authorities, supranational organisations and public sector bodies, and will be rat ed investment grade at the time of purchase. The fund’s exposure to below investment grade will be capped at 30% of its net asset value.

The fund will use exchange -traded and over the counter financial derivative instruments (forward foreign exchange contracts, currency futures, interest rate swaps and interest rate futures), each as described in the fund’s Prospectus, in order to manage and hedge the currency, interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk exposures of the fund. The fund will also use interest rate swaps and interest rate future s for investment purposes. The fund may take active long and short currency positions in a particul ar currency which may not be denominated in the fund’s base currency, some of which may operate as a hedge of its currency exposure.

The risk category shown is not guaranteed and may change over time. The indicator is designed to help investors understand the uncertainties for both loss and for growth that may affect their investment. The lowest category does not mean that the investment is risk free. The Fund is in category 3 as the investments of the fund are concentrated in units of exchange traded investment funds and because funds of this type have experienced low to medium rises and falls in value in the past. The following risks are materially relevant to the Fund which may not be adequately captured by the indicator: The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and the value of shares in the Fund may fall. Bond prices and returns from investing in bond markets are sensitive to changes in interest rates which are in turn determined by a number of economic factors, in particular market expectations of future inflation. Investment in bonds also results in expo sure to the risk that the bond issuer defaults on its obligations which is likely to result in a loss of value for the bondholder. Higher yielding bonds and emerging market bonds are generally perceived to carry a higher risk of default and a greater possi bility of loss to the Fund. The fund may invest in schemes which are substantially leveraged and any event which may adversely affect the value of the underlying scheme could significantly affect the assets of the fund.
