Key risks
Investment risk and currency risk
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.
Real estate / infrastructure risks
Investments can be made in real estate, infrastructure and illiquid assets. Investors may not be able to switch or cash in an investment when they want because real estate may not always be readily saleable. If this is the case we may defer a request to switch or cash in shares or units.
Credit and interest rate risk
Investments can be made in real estate, infrastructure and illiquid assets. Investors may not be able to switch or cash in an investment when they want because real estate may not always be readily saleable. If this is the case we may defer a request to switch or cash in shares or units.
