What are the Key Risks?

The value of shares in the Fund and income received from it can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments.

• The Fund invests mainly in Shariah-compliant debt securities, including Sukuk and short-term instruments of any quality issued by entities located in developed and emerging markets. Such securities have historically been subject to price movements, generally due to the supply and demand for financing, other market factors or movements in the Sukuk market. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate moderately over time.
• Other significant risks include: emerging markets risk, derivatives risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, Sukuk risk, Shariah compliance risk.
