Where appropriate, the contents of this website have been approved for issue in the UK by Capital International Limited, a UK company regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA). The funds are Luxembourg-registered UCITS, which are recognized in the UK under Section 264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 unless otherwise stated herein.

Investment risk

The value of any investment made in the funds and the income from such can go down as well as up, and the investor may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Changes in the rate of exchange may also cause the value of overseas investments to go up or down. Funds that invest in asset classes carrying greater risk, such as emerging markets, high yield securities and securities of small capitalisation companies may have a higher risk of loss of capital.
