What are the risks?
Risks specific to the fund include property investments, share market investments, interest rates, gearing and the use of debt, derivatives, liquidity and fund termination risks. Please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement and Derivative Risk Statement (which can be obtained by contacting us) for more information.
The fund may be suitable for a consumer with a high risk profile, seeking to minimise potential losses (e.g. has the ability to bear up to four to less than six negative returns over a 20-year period (SRM 6)) and is comfortable with a high target return profile. The risks specific to the fund may include or be associated with:
- Property investments – factors such as the quality of underlying properties, types of property (such as retail, commercial, office or logistics), tenancy and vacancy rates and geographic location may affect the fund's performance.
- Liquidity – assets subject to liquidity risk may be difficult to trade and it may take longer for their full value to be realised, and in circumstances where the fund's portfolio ceases to be ‘liquid’ for Corporations Act purposes, there may be significant delays or a freeze on withdrawal requests. Market conditions may adversely impact the liquidity of assets held in a fund portfolio.
- Interest rates – may adversely change and impact the fund's performance including the risk of capital loss in a rising interest rate environment.
- Gearing – has the effect of magnifying the fund's returns, both positive and negative.
- Derivatives – the use of derivatives may magnify any losses incurred.
- Share market investments – the value of the fund's investment in listed securities may decrease or be more volatile as a result of adverse share market movements.
