The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements, political factors, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events.

Derivatives may be highly sensitive to changes in the value of the asset on which they are based and can increase the size of losses and gains, resulting in greater fluctuations in the value of the Fund. The impact to the Fund can be greater where derivatives are used in an extensive or complex way.

There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide downside protection against the Index losses. In the event an investor purchases Shares after an Outcome Period begins or sells Shares prior to the end of the Outcome Period, the investor may not benefit fully from the loss protection of the Approximate Buffer. In the event that the Index experiences gains in excess of the upside limit, the Fund will not participate in those gains beyond the upside limit.

Counterparty Risk: The insolvency of any institutions providing services such as safekeeping of assets or acting as counterparty to derivatives or other instruments, may expose the Share Class to financial loss.

A UCITS ETF’s units / shares that have been acquired on the secondary market cannot usually be sold directly back to the UCITS ETF itself. Investors who are not Authorised Participants must buy and sell shares on a secondary market with the assistance of an intermediary (e.g. a stockbroker) and may incur fees and additional taxes in doing so. In addition, as the market price at which the Shares are traded on the secondary market may differ from the Net Asset Value per Share, investors may pay more than the then current Net Asset Value per Share when buying shares and may receive less than the current Net Asset Value per Share when selling them.
