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

of future performance. It shouldn't be the main or sole reason for making an investment
