Investment Limits
*Historic Annual Gross 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. The Fund may also invest in derivatives for investment purposes. Figures included in this document relate to the past. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance. When calculating performance, all the costs charged to the fund were included to give the net performance. Performance was calculated in Stg terms on a net asset value basis and gross dividends reinvested. Additional commissions, costs and taxes charged at the investor level have a negative impact of performance. Source for performance figures: Sarasin & Partners and FE.
