Key Risks
Potential Investors should consider the following key risks before investing in the Sub-Fund:
Fixed Income Default Risk: The failure of an issuer or a counterparty to meet its payment obligations of a financial asset in the Sub-Fund will have a negative impact on the Sub-Fund.
Derivative Risk: A Sub-Fund may use derivative instruments for both efficient portfolio management and for investment purposes. Derivative transactions may be subject to significant volatility which may result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested.
Counterparty Risk: A Sub-Fund may have credit exposure (by virtue of position in swaps, repurchase agreements, FDI etc.) to its trading parties and may bear the risk of default of the counterparties.
Operational Risk: A Sub-Fund may risk loss resulting from process failures, inadequate procedures or controls.
Liquidity Risk: The risk that the Sub-Fund may invest some of their assets in illiquid securities and other illiquid financial instruments, in respect of which they may not always be possible to execute a buy or sell order at the desired price or to liquidate the open position.
Interest Rate Risk: Fixed income securities are typically interest rate sensitive, therefore changes in interest rates can result in positive or negative fluctuations in the value of the assets held by the Sub-Fund.
Currency Risk - Base Currency: Securities may be denominated in currencies different from the Sub-Fund's Base Currency and there is a risk that changes in exchange rates and exchange control regulations may cause the value of the assets expressed in the Base Currency to rise or fall.
Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are typically smaller, less transparent, and subject to evolving, less stable political and regulatory regimes and securities from these markets may be more expensive to transact in, bear higher risk or have lower liquidity.
Counterparty Risk – Depositary and Sub-Custodians: Custody services in many emerging markets remain undeveloped and there is a transaction and custody risk of dealing in emerging market investments.
Risks Relating to China: Risks of investing in China arise from an uncertain taxation and political regime, restrictions on inward investment, dealing in closed currency and custody arrangements which are not to the same standard as those in developed markets.
ESG Risk: Risks associated with the environmental, social and governance variables, which could potentially affect the financial situation or operating performance of the Fund. These include sustainability risk, ESG Categorisation Risk and ESG Data Risk.
Sovereign Debt Risk: The Sub-Funds' investments in securities issued or guaranteed by governments may be exposed to political, social and economic risks.
Price of Securities Risk: All types of investments and all markets and therefore the Fund and the Underlying Fund are at risk of market volatility based on prevailing economic conditions.
Fixed Income Credit Rating Risk: Fixed income securities, may be subject to credit rating downgrade risk. Where a Sub-Fund invests in investment grade securities which are downgraded to a below investment grade rating after acquisition, the value of the Sub-Fund may be adversely affected.
Concentration Risk: The Sub-Fund may invest in a limited number of securities compared to more diversified Sub-Funds or it may focus its investments and hold relatively large positions in, among other things, particular industries, countries, sectors, currencies or issuers. This may increase the volatility of the value of the Sub-Fund or for the Sub-Fund to bear losses and may also limit the liquidity of certain securities within the Sub-Fund.
The risk factors described above should not be considered an exhaustive list of risks, which potential investors should consider before investing in the Sub-Fund. For more details on the fund's potential risks please read the Prospectus and Key Investor Information Document at pinebridge.com/funds
