Risk Considerations

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. The price of units and the income from them can fall as well as rise.

This investment is intended as a long-term investment and under current HM Revenue & Customs’ practice it’s not normally possible to access the fund(s) prior to the age of 55.

The minimum age will increase to 57 from 2028 with further increases expected as the State Pension Age goes up.

Please be aware that there may be occasions when an individual fund or funds may have a higher risk rating than your overall stated attitude to risk. If this is the case, then the overall risk rating applied to all of the combined funds being recommended is still designed to meet your stated tolerance.
