Risk (please read the PDS for further details)

Medium. The following risks are materially relevant to the Fund.

High yield bond risk: a bond or debt security rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s or an equivalent rating, also termed ‘below investment grade’, is generally subject to higher yields but to greater risks too.

Geographic concentration risk: to the extent that a fund invests a large portion of its assets in a particular geographic area, its performance will be more strongly affected by events within that area.

Emerging markets risk: emerging markets are less established than developed markets and therefore involve higher risks.
