EQUITY

Overview

Objective

The Sub-Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by actively investing primarily in equity securities of US companies.

Risk Profile

  • Market risk - the value of assets in the Sub-Fund 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 Sub-Fund may arise as a result of human error, system and/or process failures, inadequate procedures or controls.
  • Liquidity risk - the Sub-Fund may not always find another party willing to purchase an asset that the Sub-Fund wants to sell which could impact the Sub-Fund's ability to meet redemption requests on demand.
  • Custodian risk - insolvency, breaches of duty of care or misconduct of a custodian or sub-custodian responsible for the safekeeping of the Sub-Fund's assets can result in loss to the Sub-Fund.
  • 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.
  • Counterparty risk - a party that the Sub-Fund transacts with may fail to meet its obligations which could cause losses.
  • Sustainability risk - an environmental, social or governance event or condition that could cause the value of the Sub-Fund to go down. Examples of sustainability risks include physical environmental risks, climate change transition risks, supply chain disruptions, improper labour practices, lack of board diversity and corruption.
  • Equity Securities Risk - the value of equity securities varies in response to many factors, including those specific to an issuer or industry. The value of an issuer's stock can also be adversely affected by changes in financial markets generally. In addition, certain options and other equity-related instruments may be subject to additional risks, including liquidity risk, counterparty credit risk, legal risk and operations risk.
Complete information on the risks of investing in the fund are set out in the fund’s prospectus.
