Risk profile

Synthetic Risk Indicator (SRI)

1234567
Lower riskHigher risk
The risk indicator assumes you keep the product for 5 years. The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets or because we are not able to pay you. We have classified this product as 4 out of 7, which is a medium risk class. This figure rates the likelihood of losing money in the future, based on the Net Asset Value of this Share Class over the last ten years as a medium risk. Be aware of currency risk. If you select a foreign currency share class, you will be exposed to currency risk, receive payments in a different currency to your local currency and your final return will depend on the exchange rate between these two currencies. This risk is not considered in the indicator shown above.
