MAF Sustainable Stewardship Range
MAF Sustainable Stewardship range (Funds I to IV): the volatility of each Fund is measured against a defined Volatility Index – made up of a global equity index and a global bond index, with the split between each index varying per Fund to reflect each Fund’s typical asset mix. Volatility is measured on an annualised basis, over 3-year rolling periods, using the volatility figures as at the end of each week. The Fund’s sustainability and volatility aims may mean achieving a lower financial return than if they did not have a sustainability or volatility objective.

Key risks
For further information on the risks and risk profiles of our funds, please refer to the relevant KIID and Prospectus.
Investment risk
The value and income from the fund's assets will go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective and you may get back less than you originally invested.
Currency risk
The fund is exposed to different currencies. Derivatives are used to minimise, but may not always eliminate, the impact of movements in currency exchange rates.
Emerging markets risk
Investments can be made in emerging markets. These markets may be volatile and carry higher risk than developed markets.
Sustainable investing risk
The level of sustainability risk to which the Fund is exposed, and therefore the value of its investments, may fluctuate depending on the investment opportunities identified by the Investment Manager. Investing based on sustainability criteria may limit investment choices and performance may not align with funds with a broader investment policy.
Credit risk
Bond values are affected by changes in interest rates and the bond issuer's creditworthiness. Bonds that offer the potential for a higher income typically have a greater risk of default.
Derivatives risk
Investments can be made in derivatives, which can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives have some degree of unpredictability (especially in unusual market conditions) and may not perform as expected, and can create losses for the funds' significantly greater than the cost of the derivative itself.
Green, Social and Sustainability Bonds risk
These bonds have a smaller market size and can be more volatile and less liquid than established bond markets.
Collective investment risk
Investing in any type of collective investment involves certain risks and limitations that you would not face if investing in markets directly, including the risk of delay in liquidating your investment.
Equities risk
Equities can lose value rapidly, can remain at low prices indefinitely, and generally involve higher risks — especially market risk — than bonds or money market instruments. Bankruptcy or other financial restructuring can cause the issuer's equities to lose most or all of their value.

This product does not have a UK sustainable investment label. This is because – although the fund has sustainability characteristics - it does not meet the criteria for a label. Sustainable investment labels help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal. They can only be applied to funds with an explicit sustainability objective and that meet other specific regulatory criteria for a UK sustainable investment label.
