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

Risk and reward profile
| We have calculated the risk and reward category, as shown above, using a method of calculation derived from EU rules. It is based on the rate at which the value of the Fund has moved up and down in the past (i.e. volatility) and is not a guide to the future risk and
reward category of the Fund. The category shown is not a target or guarantee and may shift over time. Even the lowest category 1 does not mean a risk-free investment. |
| Funds in category 6 have in the past shown relatively high volatility. With a fund of category 6, you have a relatively high risk of losing money but your chance for gains is also relatively high. |
| The following risks may not be fully captured by the risk and reward indicator: |
| • There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. |
| • This Fund invests in international markets which means it is exposed to changes in currency rates which could affect the value of the Fund. |
| • A fall in the Asia Pacific markets may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund because it primarily invests in these markets. |
| • The Fund may use derivatives to reduce costs and/or the overall risk of the Fund (i.e. Efficient Portfolio Management (EPM)). Derivatives involve a level of risk, however, for EPM, they should not increase the overall riskiness of the Fund. |
| • The Fund invests in emerging markets. These markets have additional risks due to less developed market practices. |
| • A fall in the value of a single investment may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund because it typically invests in a limited number of investments. |
| • The Fund takes its charges from the capital of the Fund. Investors should be aware that there is potential for capital erosion if insufficient capital growth is achieved by the Fund to cover the
charges. Capital erosion may have the effect of reducing the level of income generated. |
| A complete description of risk factors is set out in the Prospectus in the section entitled "Risk Factors". |
