Risk considerations
Market volatility risk
The value of the fund and any income from it can fall or rise because of movements in stockmarkets, currencies and interest rates, each of which can move irrationally and be affected unpredictably by diverse factors, including political and economic events.
Currency risk
The fund’s assets may be priced in currencies other than the fund base currency. Changes in currency exchange rates can therefore affect the fund's value.
Bond liquidity risk
The fund holds bonds which could prove difficult to sell. As a result, the fund may have to lower the selling price, sell other investments or forego more appealing investment opportunities.
Higher-yielding bonds risk
The fund may invest in higher-yielding bonds, which may increase the risk to capital. Investing in these types of assets (which are also known as sub-investment grade bonds) can produce a higher yield but also brings an increased risk of default, which would affect the capital value of the fund.
Credit risk
Investments in bonds are affected by interest rates, inflation and credit ratings. It is possible that bond issuers will not pay interest or return the capital. All of these events can reduce the value of bonds held by the fund.
Charges from capital risk
Because one of the key objectives of the fund is to provide income, the fund charges are taken from capital. This may constrain capital growth or erode capital.
Emerging markets risk
Compared to more established economies, investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater volatility due to differences in generally accepted accounting principles, less governed standards or from economic or political instability. Under certain market conditions assets may be difficult to sell.
Income risk
The payment of income and its level is not guaranteed.
Risk and reward profile
The fund is in the category shown due to historic volatility (how much and how quickly the value of shares in the fund may have risen and fallen in the past due to movements in markets, currencies and interest rates). It may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the fund. The figure highlighted in the risk reward profile is the Synthetic Risk and Reward Indicator (SRRI). For more information visit our Glossary of terms.
Integrating investment and stewardship
We believe stewardship activities can contribute to better performing companies and therefore our return to clients. These activities encompass environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration, engagement and voting.
This strategy is managed jointly by our Global Income and High Yield investment teams and therefore draws on the ESG integration processes of these strategies.
Our TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) fund-level reports provide our clients with transparency on certain climate-related metrics for our investment products.
We have produced a consolidated report which includes TCFD disclosures for all of our UK funds, along with an explanation of the climate metrics which we are disclosing for each fund.
