Important Risk Disclosures

The funds quoted on the website may directly or indirectly invest in various instruments including deposits, equities, bonds and derivatives. Some of them may subject to the risk of substantial capital losses arising from investment in:

• emerging markets - which involve higher liquidity, volatility, currency, political and regulatory risk than developed countries;

• lower grade or unrated securities - which involve higher counterparty/credit and liquidity risks; and /or

• single market / sector - which involves higher concentration risks than a more diversified portfolio.

Some of the funds may have a significant exposure to derivatives for investment purposes which may expose to substantial counterparty, liquidity and volatility risks. Such investment may result in high volatility or even a total loss in the assets of the funds with a short period of time.

Some of the funds may have indirect exposure to China A-Shares. Investing in China A securities may be subject to withholding tax on realised capital gains. Provision for such potential withholding tax is anticipated to be made or reflected in the instruments the funds invested in. With the uncertainty concerning the tax rules in PRC and the possibility of taxes being applied retroactively, any tax provision made by the funds or these instruments may be inadequate and may result in a loss to the funds.

Investment in Baring US$ Reserve Fund is not the same as placing funds on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company and that the Managers have no obligation to redeem units at the issue price.

General risk factors

The value of investments and any income generated may go down as well as up and is not guaranteed. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Quoted yields are not guaranteed. Different funds have different levels of risk. Changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of investments. Investors should be aware of the additional risks associated with investments in emerging or developing markets. Transactions in derivative instruments may be used extensively to meet the investment objectives of the funds and may therefore lead to higher volatility to its net asset value and may involve a greater degree of risk than is the case with conventional securities. Investors should be aware that investments in higher yielding bonds issued by borrowers with lower credit ratings may result in a greater risk of default and have a negative impact on income and capital value. Income payments may constitute a return of capital in whole or in part. Income may be achieved by foregoing future capital growth.

Investment involves risks. Investors should read all the relevant documents including Reports and Accounts and Offering Documents, including the risk factors.
