XXXXX | Commodities Fund

Key Risks

Commodities Risk: The fund's exposure to the commodities markets, and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, may subject the fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. The commodities markets are impacted by a variety of factors, including changes in overall market movements, resource availability, commodity price volatility, political and economic events and policies, interest rates and inflation rates.

Market Risk: The risk of a change in the value of a position as a result of underlying market factors, including among other things, the overall performance of companies and the market perception of the global economy.

Liquidity Risk: The risk that the fund may be unable to sell an investment readily at its fair market value. In extreme market conditions this can affect the fund’s ability to meet redemption requests upon demand.

Counterparty Risk: The risk that a counterparty will not fulfil its payment obligation for a trade, contract or other transaction, on the due date.

Operational Risk: The risk of direct or indirect loss resulting from inadequate or failed processes, people and systems including those relating to the safekeeping of assets or from external events.

Derivatives Risk: The Fund is permitted to use certain types of financial derivative instruments (including certain complex instruments). This may increase the Fund’s leverage significantly which may cause large variations in the value of your share. (Investors should note that the Fund may achieve its investment objective by investing principally in Financial Derivative Instruments (FDI)). Certain investment risks apply in relation to the use of FDI. The use of leverage can amplify both gains and losses, which may result in a significant or a total loss of the fund’s value in adverse market conditions.

Model Risk: The investment strategy of a fund using a quantitative investment approach is rules based and model-driven. Therefore, it would not necessarily result in a security being sold because that security’s issuer was in financial trouble or defaulted, or had its credit rating downgraded, unless such indicators are tracked by the investment strategy of that fund. There is no guarantee that the investment strategy of such a fund will meet the purpose for which it was designed.

Interest Rate Risk: The risk of interest rate movements affecting the value of fixed-rate bonds.

Currency Risk: Investors who subscribe in a currency other than the base currency of the fund are exposed to currency risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the return on investment. Where past performance is shown it is based on the share class to which this webpage relates. If the currency of this share class is different from your local currency, then you should be aware that due to exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may increase or decrease if converted into your local currency.
