Investment risks

Private assets are investment opportunities that are unavailable through public markets such as stock exchanges. They enable investors to directly profit from long-term investment themes and can provide access to specialist sectors or industries, such as infrastructure, real estate, private equity and other alternatives that are difficult to access through traditional means. Therefore, any investment in private assets does require careful consideration, as they tend to have high minimum investment levels and may be complex and illiquid, as well as may be exposed to specific risks, including:

  • ILLIQUIDITY OF THE SUB-FUND’S SHARES
  • ILLIQUIDITY OF THE SUB-FUND’S INVESTMENTS
  • CREDIT QUALITY
  • LIQUIDITY RISK
  • LONG-DATED NATURE OF MOST INVESTMENTS
  • CONCENTRATION
  • MARKET RISK
  • INTEREST RATES
  • FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES AND HEDGING
