Let's talk about risk

The value of your investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the original amount invested. Tax allowances and the benefits of tax-efficient accounts are subject to change and tax treatment depends upon your individual circumstances. Each Trust has different risk factors. Please see the Key Information Documents (KIDs) for further details on the risks for each trust.
