Infrastructure Equity

Risk Considerations. There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective or will work under all market conditions. The value of investments may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Portfolios may be subject to certain additional risks, which should be considered carefully along with their investment objectives and fees.

Further information on the potential risks can be found in the Key Information Document (KID) and/or the Prospectus or Offering Memorandum.

• Equity Risk. Portfolios that invest in securities listed on a stock exchange or market could be affected by general changes in the stock market. The value of investments can go down as well as up due to equity markets movements.
• Interest Rate Risk. As interest rates rise debt securities will fall in value. The value of debt is inversely proportional to interest rate movements.
• Concentration Risk. The Fund may be concentrated in a limited number of securities, economic sectors and/or countries. As a result, it may be more volatile and have a greater risk of loss than more broadly diversified funds.
• Counterparty Risk. The possibility that the counterparty to a transaction may be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations.
• Derivatives Risk. Derivatives can behave unexpectedly. The pricing and volatility of many derivatives may diverge from strictly reflecting the pricing or volatility of their underlying reference(s), instrument or asset.
• Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging markets are less established, and often more volatile, than developed markets and involve higher risks, particularly market, liquidity and currency risks.
• Exchange Rate Risk. Changes in currency exchange rates could reduce or increase investment gains or investment losses, in some cases significantly.
• Investment Leverage Risk. Investment Leverage occurs when the economic exposure is greater than the amount invested, such as when derivatives are used. A Fund that employs leverage may experience greater gains and/or losses due to the amplification effect from a movement in the price of the reference source.
• Liquidity Risk. Liquidity Risk is the risk that a Fund may encounter difficulties meeting its obligations in respect of financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets, thereby compromising existing or remaining investors.
• Operational Risk. Operational risks may subject the Fund to errors affecting transactions, valuation, accounting, and financial reporting, among other things.
• Style Risk. Different investment styles typically go in and out of favour depending on market conditions and investor sentiment.
• Model Risk. Model risk occurs when a financial model used in the portfolio management or valuation processes does not perform the tasks or capture the risks it was designed to. It is considered a subset of operational risk, as model risk mostly affects the portfolio that uses the model.
• Sustainability. means an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of the investment.
