Past performance is not a guide to future performance
Performance basis: Mid to mid, in the share class reference currency, gross of tax payable by the Fund with income reinvested. Net figures are net of ongoing charges and fees. Net and Gross performance does not include the effect of any exit or entry charge.
The Fund's performance is measured against the European Central Bank (“ECB”) rate which banks receive for depositing cash with the ECB, this is known as the “deposit facility rate”.
Please note that this is a hedged share class, and due to interest rate differential and costs associated with performing the hedging activity, this share class will have a different outcome to the equivalent share class in the base currency. For further information on Sustainability Risk please refer to the Sustainable Finance Disclosure sectionFund commentary
Summary review
Positive fund returns in January were led by market return strategies, thanks to long emerging market equity exposure. Risk-reducing returns were held back by the long Australian government bond position.

Risks
Investment risk & Currency risk
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Derivatives Risk
Investments can be made in derivatives, which can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected, meaning significant losses may be incurred.
Illiquid Securities Risk
Some investments could be hard to value or to sell at a desired time, or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities). As a result their prices can be volatile.
Sustainability Risk
The level of sustainability risk may fluctuate depending on which investment opportunities the Investment Manager identifies. This means that the fund is exposed to Sustainability Risk which may impact the value of investments over the long term.
Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
