The value of an investment in a unit trust and the income from it can fall as well as rise and may be affected by exchange rate variations and you may not get back the amount you invested.

Performance data source: Financial Express, net income reinvested at UK basic rate of tax to 31/05/2008. For confirmation of individual fund launch dates, please see the Fund Information tab of the All Funds table. The OBSR Ratings are as at 31/05/2008.

Please see the online glossary within the help section for further definition of these ratings.

The manager has the power to invest up to 20% of the portfolio in bonds which are not rated by a credit rating agency. These may include higher yielding bonds which have increased risk of capital erosion due to a higher possibility of default by the bond issuer. Changing market conditions and interest rate levels can also have a larger impact on the value of higher yielding bonds than other bonds.

The Distribution Yield reflects the annualised income net of the expenses in the fund (calculated in accordance with the relevant accounting standards) as a percentage of the mid-market unit price of the Fund as at the date shown. It is based on a snapshot of the portfolio on that day. It does not include any initial charge and investors may be subject to tax on their distributions.
