*Historic Annual Net Yield. There is no minimum investment period, though we would recommend that you view your investment as a medium to long term one (i.e. 5 to 10 years). Frequent political and social unrest in Emerging Markets, and the high inflation and interest rates this tends to encourage, may lead to sharp swings in foreign currency markets and stock markets. There is also an inherent risk in the smaller size of many Emerging Markets, especially since this means restricted liquidity. Further risks to bear in mind are restrictions on foreigners making currency transactions or investments. For efficient portfolio management the Fund may invest in derivatives. The value of these investments may fluctuate significantly, but the overall intention of the use of derivative techniques is to reduce volatility of returns. Please remember that you should not base decisions on past performance and that the prices may fluctuate and you may not get back your original investment. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance. Details of the fund’s Synthetic Risk and Return Indicator and further details of the risks can be found in the Prospectus and Key Investor Information document available from www.sarasinandpartners.com. Overseas shares and bonds may be affected by currency exchange rates. Performance is calculated in Stg terms on a net basis with net income reinvested. Source for performance figures: Sarasin & Partners & FE. The source for the annualised volatility measurement is FE and this measurement is expressed using the standard deviation of the Fund’s Stg monthly returns over the most recent 36 month period. This is not the only method of calculating volatility and other methods may produce different results. The yields quoted have been calculated using price information as at the date of publication. They are not guaranteed. When calculating performance, all the costs charged to the fund were included to give the net performance. Performance was calculated on the basis of net asset values (NAV) and net dividends reinvested. Additional commissions, costs and taxes charged at the investor level have a negative impact of performance.
