Aberdeen Asia Pacific A Acc
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
Aims for capital growth by investing in countries of the Asia Pacific region excluding Japan.

Risk and reward profile
| The Risk and Reward Indicator table demonstrates where the Fund ranks in terms of its potential risk and reward. The higher the rank the greater the potential reward but the greater the risk of losing money. It is based on past data, may change over time and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Fund. The shaded area in the table below shows the Fund’s ranking on the Risk and Reward Indicator. |
| This Fund is ranked at 6 because funds of this type have experienced high rises and falls in value in the past. |
| • Please note that even the lowest risk class can lose you money and that extreme market circumstances can mean you suffer severe losses in all cases . The indicator does not take into account the following risks of investing in this Fund: |
| • Exchange Rates: Investing globally can bring additional returns and diversify risk. However, currency exchange rate fluctuations may have a positive or negative impact on the value of your investment. |
| • Emerging Markets: Emerging markets or less developed countries may face more political, economic or structural challenges than developed countries. This may mean your money is at greater risk. |
