Please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance, the performance of funds is not guaranteed and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invested. When investments have particular tax features, these will depend on your personal circumstances and tax rules may change in the future. Fees and expenses are deducted from capital, so whilst this maintains the level of income it may restrict the level of capital growth and could lead to a reduction in capital value.
GSI does not provide investment advice. If you are unsure whether an investment is suitable for your needs or circumstances you should seek independent professional advice. Before investing in a fund please read the Key Investor Information Document, Prospectus and Fund Supplement for full information.
You should note that, if you choose to invest in any fund described or referred to in this Website, your capital will be at risk and you may therefore lose some or all of any amount that you choose to invest.
