Investec Cautious Managed A Inc GBP

This factsheet should be viewed in conjunction with the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) as both provide important information. The KIID is accessible from the link on the right.

Factsheets contain information about the features of the fund such as the investment objective, fund region and past performance.

Some funds offer income units, accumulation units or both. The unit type you choose will affect the way income generated from the fund is treated. With income units, income is paid into your nominated account. With accumulation units income is retained within the fund, increasing the value of your holding.

All Investments carry an element of risk. In particular, the value of Investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back what you originally invested.

In addition, investing in funds is subject to specific risks. Details of these risks are contained in the Key Investor Information Document which is designed to provide important information about funds as well as the risks involved.

Fund Objective

At all times the Fund's equity exposure will be limited to a maximum of 60% of the portfolio value.

Risk and reward profile

risk chart

This indicator is based on historical data and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Fund. The risk and reward category shown is not guaranteed to remain unchanged and may shift over time. The lowest category does not mean ‘risk free’.
The value of your investment can fall as well as rise and you are not certain of making profits; losses may be made.
The Fund appears towards the middle of the risk and reward indicator scale. This is because, although it invests in the shares of companies whose values have typically tended to fluctuate widely, it also invests significantly in bonds which have not typically fluctuated as much.
The following risks may not be fully captured by the Risk and Reward Indicator:
The value of bonds tends to decrease when interest rates and/or inflation rises.
The full list of the Fund's risks are contained in Appendix VII of the Investec Funds Series i prospectus.
