Risk Disclosure

All investments, including Affluence Funds, are subject to risks. If these risks eventuate, they may result in a reduction in the value of your investment in the relevant Fund and/or a reduction or cessation of distributions. Distributions are not guaranteed, nor is the return of your capital. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.

The value of your investment in any Affluence Fund will go up and down over time. Each Fund’s returns will vary, future returns may differ from past returns, and returns are not guaranteed. This means that there is always the chance that you could lose money on your investment in an Affluence Fund.

Key risks for each Fund are set out in the product disclosure statement or information memorandum (Disclosure Document) for that Fund. Key risks include concentration and volatility risk, economic and market risk, legal and regulatory risk, manager and key person risk, and currency risk. AFM aims, where possible, to manage risks. However, some risks are outside our control.
