This information is simulated past performance and it is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The results are calculated by applying an investment strategy or methodology to existing historical market data, on prior time periods. Simulated performance results do not reflect actual trading and have inherent limitations. The value of your investment is dependent on the supply and demand for the shares of the Investment Trust rather than its underlying assets. The value of your investment will not be the same as the value of the Investment Trust’s underlying assets.
Assumptions:
Fees and charges – The information presented is gross of any fees and charges, which would lower the returns shown. Fees and charges will vary depending on how shares are bought and held.
Tax – Tax has not been taken into account for the calculation.
Dividend reinvestment – The information assumes all dividend income is reinvested.

Investment Risks
The value of your investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the original amount invested. Changes in rates of exchange may also reduce the value of your investment. Gearing is used for investment purposes to obtain, increase or reduce exposure to an asset, index or investment. The use of gearing can enhance returns to investors in a rising market, but if the market falls the losses may be greater.
