11 Important information The value of an investment in the fund and any income from it can go down as well as up. Investors may not get back the original amount invested. The opinions are those of the Fund Manager and should not be relied upon as indicating any guarantee of return from an investment in the fund. This fund invests not only in direct commercial property but property company shares and cash. Therefore the value of the fund will rise and fall in line not only with property values and rental income streams, but capital values and dividends of the shares; interest rates available on cash and the value of any other investments included in the fund. The fund may have some investment in bonds or shares issued by companies in so-called ‘emerging markets’. This carries a higher risk than investing in larger, established markets. Investments in emerging markets are likely to experience greater rises and falls in value, and may have problems in trading and settlement. When funds invest in bonds in overseas currencies, the value will go up and down in line with movements in exchange rates. In addition, the capital and income from a fund will rise and fall due to movements in interest rates. The value of property investments is generally a matter of valuers’ opinion rather than fact. In addition property investments may not always be readily saleable and very occasionally there maybe constraints on cashing in units.
