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.
Below Investment Grade Debt Securities Risk: Where Sub-Funds invest in securities rated below investment grade, also known as high yield securities, they may be subject to a greater credit, liquidity and market risk than investment grade debt securities.
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.
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.
Risks associated with QFI scheme: The Sub-Fund may suffer substantial losses if the approval of the QFI status is being revoked/terminated or otherwise invalidated as the Sub-Fund may be prohibited from trading of relevant securities and repatriation of the fund’s monies.
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
