Past performance is not a guide to future performance; the value of an investment and income from it can go down as well as up.
The fund may invest in Emerging Markets and High Yield debt securities which tend to be more volatile than those of more developed capital markets or investment grade securities so any investment is at greater risk. The strategy may invest in derivatives including (but not limited) to futures, forwards, options, swaps and swaptions. Some of these securities are exchange traded, others are not. Derivatives traded on an exchange are guaranteed by the exchange. Derivatives that are not exchange traded carry risk of default by the counterparty. In almost all cases (other than long positions in options), the derivatives used may result in losses greater than the amount of the original investment.
