Key Risks
Investors' capital is at risk and there is no guarantee the Company will achieve its objective. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance. The value of investments may go down as well as up. Investors might get back less than they originally invested. The value of an investment’s assets may be affected by a variety of uncertainties such as (but not limited to): (i) international political developments; (ii) market sentiment; and (iii) economic conditions. The shares of the Company may trade at a discount or a premium to Net Asset Value. The Company may use derivatives which carry the risk of reduced liquidity, substantial loss and increased volatility in adverse market conditions. The Company invests in assets denominated in currencies other than the Company's base currency and changes in exchange rates may have a negative impact on the value of the Company's investments. The Company invests in a concentrated number of companies based in one sector. This focused strategy can lead to significant losses. The Company may be less diversified than other investment companies. The Company may invest in emerging markets where there is a greater risk of volatility than developed economies, for example due to political and economic uncertainties and restrictions on foreign investment. Emerging markets are typically less liquid than developed economies which may result in large price movements to the Company. Important Information
