Use of cookies

Our site uses cookies. A 'cookie' is a small piece of data stored on a computer, which is used for remembering the options you select while visiting a site so that subsequent pages are displayed with your preferences. Examples of some options on this site are class and currency combinations on the Fund information pages.

Similarly, if you use the Adviser section of the site and have chosen the ‘Remember me’ option when logging in, your Login name and Password are securely stored in a cookie to remember you when you next return to the site so that your preferences are automatically displayed.
