The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements. Other influential factors include political, 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.

The prices of commodities tend to experience greater variations than other asset classes (e.g. equities or fixed income securities). Investments in commodities are therefore potentially riskier than other types of investments.

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 Fund to financial loss.

Credit Risk: The issuer of a financial asset held within the Fund may not pay income or repay capital to the Fund when due.

The Fund’s ability to track the benchmark’s performance is reliant on the counterparties to continuously deliver the performance of the benchmark in line with the swap agreements (i.e. counterparty risk) and would also be affected by any spread between the pricing of the swaps and the pricing of the benchmark. If any swap counterparty fails to provide sufficient assets as security for amounts owed to the Fund, there might be an increased counterparty risk exposure at a given time.
