Duration and Yield statistics include all positions with a verified duration and yield figure, subject to the exclusion of defaulted positions. Bond securities with less than 1 year to maturity show yield to maturity on a non-annualised basis. 4.

Risk Warning: Emerging Markets (EM) carry risks as well as rewards. The fund invests in EM, which may be more volatile than more mature markets. The value of your investment could go down as well as up. In extreme circumstances, this could result in a total loss of your investment. EM may suffer from liquidity problems; changes in rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of your investment to decrease or increase; operational risks of investing are higher than in more developed markets. Neither past experience nor the current situation are necessarily accurate guides to the future. For a full description of these and further risks, you should refer to the latest full prospectus.
