INVESTMENT RISKS

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up as a result of market and currency fluctuations and investors may not get back the amount they originally invested. Investment in unlisted securities is likely to carry more risks than investment in listed securities. An investment in HgT entails risks which are described in the annual report and KID.
