we have tried to write as much as possible in plain language, we may have used certain words or phrases that
might not be familiar to you, particularly if you are new to investing. Its purpose is to help you understand
how the fund is invested and performing. You should not use it on its own for making investment decisions.
It is not an offer to buy or sell any investments or shares. If there's something you don't understand, please

Source: Financial Express as at 30/09/2014. You shouldn't use past performance as a suggestion
of future performance. It shouldn't be the main or sole reason for making an investment
decision. The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and will
be reduced in real terms by the effects of inflation. You may not get back the amount you
invested. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) practice and law are complex. Tax concessions
are not guaranteed, their value will depend on individual circumstances and may change in
