| Diversification risk:The Fund is highly specialised. Although the portfolio is well diversified in terms of the number of holdings, investors should be aware that the Fund is likely to be more volatile than a broad-based fund, such as a global or regional equity fund.Technology related companies risk:The Fund may invest through a portfolio consisting primarily of securities of technology companies and is more susceptible to fluctuations in value resulting from adverse conditions in which the Fund invests.Currency risk:The assets in which the Fund is invested and the income from the assets will or may be quoted in currency which are different from the Fund’s base currency. The performance of the Fund will therefore be affected by movements in the exchange rate between the currencies in which the assets are held and Fund’s currency of denomination. Investors whose base currency is different (or not in a currency linked to the Fund’s currency of denomination) may be exposed to additional currency risk.Liquidity risk:The Fund may invest in instruments where the volume of transactions may fluctuate significantly depending on market sentiment.There is a risk that investments made by the Fund may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions.Equity risk:Equity markets may fluctuate significantly with prices rising and falling sharply, and this will have a direct impact on the Fund’s net asset value. When equity markets are extremely volatile, the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate substantially. |
