Fees and expenses
Portfolio
Risks
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Convertible Securities Risk
Convertible bonds can earn less income than comparable debt securities and less growth than comparable equity securities, and carry a high level of risk.
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
The Fund uses derivatives, these can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected meaning the Fund may suffer significant losses.
Illiquid Securities Risk
Certain assets held in the Fund could be hard to value or to sell at a desired time or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities), and as a result their prices could be very volatile.
Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
Ongoing Charges
This Share Class integrates Economies of Scale discounts to the Fund Management Fee (“FMF”) which is a component of the Ongoing Charge Figure. Consequently, when a Fund reaches a certain size (a pre-defined “trigger point”) a discount will automatically apply to the FMF. However, at all other times the FMF will be charged at the rate as set out in the Fund's prospectus. For further details on the Economies of Scale discounts and the trigger points at which they apply, please refer to the Fund's prospectus.
