Key Risks

Potential Investors should consider the following key risks before investing in the Sub-Fund:

Equity Investing Risk: The value of shares and securities related to shares may fall due to issuer related issues, financial market dynamics and world events including economic and political changes.

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.

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.

Risk-Constrained Strategy Risk: The Sub-Fund may use a risk management approach, which involves the holdings and the potential risk of the Sub-Fund to be close to those of its benchmark and the returns to closely follow its benchmark too.

Quantitative Model Risk: The Sub-Fund may use a financial model to enhance returns and/or manage risk. There is no guarantee the model will behave in the way it is expected to, nor that it will not lead to an error that is difficult to detect and correct, for lengthy periods of time. These factors may lead to adverse outcomes for the investors.

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.

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

Important Benchmark Information
The Sub-Fund is actively managed, seeking to deliver excess returns over the Sub-Fund’s benchmark. The holdings may or may not be components of the benchmark and the Investment Manager has broad discretion to deviate from the benchmark securities, weightings and risk characteristics. The degree to which the Sub-Fund resembles the composition and risk characteristics of the benchmark is not a specifically targeted outcome and could vary over time, and the Sub-Fund’s performance may be meaningfully different from the Sub-Fund’s benchmark. The Sub-Fund targets a material tracking error against its benchmark which has typically been approximately 2%. The Sub-Fund also aims to limit the active stock, sector and industry weights of the portfolio versus the benchmark. These have historically been in a range of +/- 2%, though will vary over time and are subject to change. Source of benchmark: S&P. The benchmark is used for information purposes only and is calculated dividend reinvested. No benchmark is directly identical to the Sub-Fund and its performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance of the Sub-Fund. The benchmark from inception was the Standard & Poor’s 500 Total Return Index. It was changed to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Total Return Net Index with effect from 30 November 2009 as the Investment Manager considers the current benchmark more reflective of the Sub-Fund’s investment strategy than the previous benchmark and that the current benchmark is the industry standard for the relevant exposure.
