- The prices of shares and units and income there from can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Currency fluctuations will affect the value of overseas investment. Emerging Markets can be more risky than developed markets. Investors should be aware of the special risks associated with aggressively seeking capital appreciation, including investment in securities of a more speculative nature with greater emphasis on short-term trading profits, and concentration of stocks in specific sectors, as with investments in the technology and biotechnology sectors. This investment strategy can lead to greater volatility than an investment in products or funds invested in a greater spread of stocks across a wider variety of sectors. Current tax levels and reliefs may vary and will depend on your personal circumstances.
