Risk Profile

  • Counterparty risk – a party that the ETF transacts with may fail to meet its obligations which could cause losses.
  • Credit risk – the failure of a counterparty or an issuer of a financial asset held within the Portfolio to meet its payment obligations will have a negative impact on the Portfolio.
  • Custodian risk – insolvency, breaches of duty of care or misconduct of a custodian or subcustodian responsible for the safekeeping of the ETF's assets can result in loss to the ETF.
  • Derivatives risk – derivative instruments are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying asset that they are based on. Certain derivatives may result in losses greater than the amount originally invested.
  • Exchange rate risk– changes in exchange rates may reduce or increase the returns an investor might expect to receive independent of the performance of such assets. If applicable, investment techniques used to attempt to reduce the risk of currency movements (hedging), may not be effective. Hedging also involves additional risks associated with derivatives.
  • Index tracking error risk – the performance of the ETF may not generally follow and may be very different from the performance of the Index. The anticipated tracking error has been calculated using historical data and therefore may not capture all factors that will impact a ETF's actual performance against its reference index.
  • Interest rate risk – when interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reflecting the ability of investors to obtain a more attractive rate of interest on their money elsewhere. Bond prices are therefore subject to movements in interest rates which may move for a number of reasons, political as well as economic.
  • Liquidity risk – the ETF may not always find another party willing to purchase an asset that the Fund wants to sell which could impact the ETF's ability to meet redemption requests on demand.
  • Market risk – the value of assets in the ETF is typically dictated by a number of factors, including the confidence levels of the market in which they are traded.
  • Operational risk – Material losses to the ETF may arise as a result of human error, system and/or process failures, inadequate procedures or controls.
  • Complete information on the risks of investing in the fund are set out in the fund’s prospectus.
