Risk and Reward Profile

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Lower potential risk/reward Not risk-free.

Higher potential risk/reward

The value of an investment in the Sub-Fund can go up and down. When you sell your shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. If your currency as an investor is different from the subscription currency of the Sub-Fund, changes in currency exchange rates could reduce any investment gains or increase any investment losses.

The risk/reward rating above is an estimate; it is not guaranteed. The rating is based on medium-term volatility (variations in the Fund’s share price over a recent period, generally several years). Going forward, the Sub-Fund’s actual volatility could be lower or higher, and its rated risk/reward level may be changed.

The Sub-Fund’s risk level reflects the following factor:

• The Sub-Fund invests in stocks, which in general are riskier than bonds or money market instruments.

The rating does not reflect the possible effects of unusual mar-ket conditions or large unpredictable events, which could amplify everyday risks and could trigger other risks, such as:

Counterparty risk The Sub-Fund could lose money if an entity with which it does business becomes unwilling or unable to honor its commitments to the Sub-Fund.

Derivatives risk Certain derivatives could increase Sub-Fund volatility or expose the Sub-Fund to losses greater than the cost of the derivative.

Liquidity risk Certain securities could become hard to value, or to sell at a desired time and price.

Management risk Portfolio management techniques that have worked well in normal market conditions could prove ineffective or detrimental during unusual conditions.
