This Sub-Fund integrates ESG criteria into its investment process. For full details, please refer to the Pre-Contractual Annex, the Polen Sustainable Investment Policy, and the Polen Capital ESG Policy Statement. The decision of the investor to invest in the promoted Fund should consider all the characteristics or objectives of the Fund.
An investment in the Fund concerns the acquisition of shares in the Fund and not in any underlying asset of the Fund. As a result, shares held in the Fund do not confer any interest or share in any particular part of the assets of the Fund. The value of the investment in the Fund can reduce and increase; therefore, the return on the investment in the Fund will be variable. Income may fluctuate in accordance with market conditions and taxation arrangements.

Please see the Prospectus for further information on the SFDR classification of the Fund.

Risk Indicator


What Are the Risks and What Could I Get in Return?

Image
Risk Scale 6/7

The risk indicator assumes you keep the product for five years.

The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets or because we are not able to pay you.

We have classified this product as 6 out of 7, which is a medium-high risk class. This rates the potential losses from future performance at a medium-high level, and poor market conditions will likely impact our capacity to pay you.

Be aware of currency risk. You will receive payments in a different currency, so the final return you will get depends on the exchange rate between the two currencies. This risk is not considered in the indicator shown above. Other risks materially relevant to the product which are not taken into account in the summary risk indicator are: operational risk, counterparty risk, and securities risk.

The main risks of the fund are: market risk, sector risk, and equity risk. All investments involve risks. The risk information in this slide is intended to give an idea of the main risks associated with this fund. Any of these risks could negatively impact the value of the fund. Please refer to the Prospectus, the Supplement and Key Investor Information documents available on this website for further information on risks. 

For more information about fees and expenses related to the fund, please see the section entitled “Fees and Expenses” in the Prospectus, the Supplement and Key Investor Information documents available on this website.

KIID Ongoing Charge is as of November 30, 2022 and may be higher or lower and where applicable, the KIID Ongoing Charge is equal to the Max Ongoing Charge because such share class has not yet launched. The ongoing charge cap excludes all portfolio transaction charges. Performance for the various share classes will be more or less depending on differences in fees and ongoing charges. Fees, charges and costs may increase or decrease as a result of currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The difference at any one time between the sale and repurchase price of share in the Fund means that the investment should be viewed as medium term to long term. Entry fees charged will lower returns. The ongoing charges figures shown here are based on expenses for the year ending 30 November 2022. This figure may vary from year to year and the Fund’s annual report for each financial year will include details on the exact charges made. It excludes all portfolio transaction charges and performance fees. Please consult the prospectus for a comprehensive explanation of all fees.

Risk factors you should consider before investing: The value of investments and any income will fluctuate and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Where the Fund’s Investment Manager has expressed views and opinions in this fact sheet, these may change. Changes in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the value, price, or income of the product. Whilst the Company aims to ensure the accuracy of the data contained in the factsheet, it is provided for information purposes only. It should not be relied on as the basis for making an investment decision. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks and expenses of any investment carefully before investing as described in the Company’s Prospectus.

The Fund invests in foreign markets which involve risks such as social and political instability, market illiquidity, currency fluctuations and limited regulation. Additionally, investing in emerging market countries may be less liquid and more volatile than securities markets in more developed markets or in companies that are less well-established and substantially smaller. These companies may often experience significant price volatility and potential lack of liquidity due to low trading volume of their securities. Substantial risks are involved in trading in OTC markets and there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to realize the fair value of such securities due to their tendency to have limited liquidity and comparatively high price volatility. Investments in financial derivative instruments including futures, forward contracts and options may be highly volatile and have limited liquidity which could result in major losses to the Fund. Certain derivative instruments in which the Fund may invest are foreign exchange rate sensitive and could amplify risks.
