Risk Considerations • ABS and MBS risk: Mortgage or asset-backed securities may not receive in full the amounts owed to them by
underlying borrowers.

• Capital risk / contingent convertible bonds: The fund may be significantly invested in contingent convertible
bonds. If the financial strength of a bond's issuer (typically a bank or an insurance firm) falls in a prescribed way
the bond may suffer substantial or total losses of capital.

• Capital risk / distribution policy: Because the fund intends to pay dividends regardless of its performance, a
dividend may include a return of part of your original investment.

• Capital risk / negative yields: When interest rates are very low or negative, the fund's yield may be zero or
negative, and you may not get back all of your investment.

• Counterparty risk: The counterparty to a derivative or other contractual agreement or synthetic financial product
could become unable to honour its commitments to the fund, potentially creating a partial or total loss for the fund.

• Counterparty risk / money market & deposit: A failure of a deposit institution or an issuer of a money market
instrument could create losses.

• Credit risk: A decline in the financial health of an issuer could cause the value of its bonds to fall or become
worthless.

• Currency risk: The fund can be exposed to different currencies. Changes in foreign exchange rates could create
losses.

• Derivatives risk: A derivative may not perform as expected, and may create losses greater than the cost of the
derivative.

• High yield bond risk: High yield bonds (normally lower rated or unrated) generally carry greater market, credit and
liquidity risk.

• Interest rate risk: A rise in interest rates generally causes bond prices to fall.

• Leverage risk: The fund uses derivatives for leverage, which makes it more sensitive to certain market or interest
rate movements and may cause above-average volatility and risk of loss.

• Liquidity risk: In difficult market conditions, the fund may not be able to sell a security for full value or at all. This
could affect performance and could cause the fund to defer or suspend redemptions of its shares.
• Operational risk: Failures at service providers could lead to disruptions of fund operations or losses.

• Capital risk / distribution policy: the expenses of this share class are paid out of capital rather than out of
investment income. Capital growth will be reduced and in periods of low growth capital erosion may occur.
