    3. General risks associated with investment funds

    As every financial instrument, investment funds are subject to a number of general and specific risks. Investment funds are subject to the same market, volatility, country, currency, liquidity and issuer risks as the investments they make. The extent of specific risks depends on their investment restrictions, risk diversification and use of investment techniques and derivatives.

    The legal documents constituting a fund (fund contract, prospectus, other offering documentation) and (where applicable) the key information document, describe its risk profile in detail. The legal documents for the investment funds offered by the Company are available on our website or from your client advisor.

    4. Cost Information

The percentage of management fee depends on the family of products and on the asset class.
