Principal Risk Factors
The Fund is subject to a range of risks including:
Market Risk: The Fund is subject to normal market fluctuations and the risks associated with investing in international securities markets.
Investment Risk: The value of investments can fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the sum originally invested.
Political Risk: The Fund invests in markets where economic and regulatory risks can be significant.
No Capital Guarantee: Positive Returns are not guaranteed and no form of capital protection applies.
Currency Risk: The Fund may acquire assets in currencies other than the base currency of the Fund and as a result the value of the Fund's investments may
rise and fall due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Hedging Risk: In respect of hedged (H) share classes, the value of the Fund's investment in derivatives depends primarily on the performance of the underlying
asset. A small movement in the value of the underlying asset may cause a large movement in the value of the derivative. There is no guarantee that the Fund's
use of hedging to protect against changes in currency exchange rates will be successful.

More information in relation to risks in general may be found in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus.
