Specific risks

• No capital protection: The value of your investment may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you invested.
• Liquidity risk: Lower liquidity means there are insufficient buyers or sellers to allow the Sub-Fund to sell or buy investments readily. Neither the Index provider nor the issuer make any representation or forecast on liquidity.
• Market risk: The Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund will change with changes in the market value of the securities it holds. The price of Shares and the income from them may go down as well as up. Investors may not get back their original investment.
• Investment Management Risk: This is the risk that the Investment Manager’s strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. In addition, the Investment Manager has absolute discretion, subject to the provisions of the Prospectus, Supplement and applicable legislation, to exercise shareholders’ rights with respect to securities comprising the Sub-Fund. There can be no guarantee that the exercise of such discretion will result in the investment objective of the Sub-Fund being achieved. Investors should also note that in certain cases, none of the Investment Manager, the ICAV or the Shareholders has any voting rights with respect to securities held by the Sub-Fund.
• Concentration Risk: This Sub-Fund has a high exposure to a particular country or geographical region it therefore carries a higher level of risk than a Sub-Fund which is more broadly diversified. This Sub-Fund may have a particularly concentrated portfolio relative to its investment universe or other comparable products. An adverse event impacting even a small number of holdings could create significant volatility or losses for the Sub-Fund.
