Key Risks
Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested.
We recommend that shares in this Company are held for the long term (a minimum period of 5 years). We also recommend that you hold shares in this Company as part of a diversified portfolio of investments.
The Edinburgh Investment Trust, which is managed by the Liontrust Global Fundamental team, may be exposed to the following risks:
- The Company may borrow money to invest in the stock market within prescribed limits which may enhance or reduce returns.
- The Company may invest in smaller companies which could result in a higher level of risk than an equivalent vehicle that invests only in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies may be subject to abrupt price movements and may be less liquid, which may mean they are not easy to buy or sell.
- The Company may use derivatives (contracts whose value is linked to the value of an underlying investment) for efficient portfolio management which could result in increased volatility in Net Asset Value (NAV).
The NAV return of the Company corresponds to the performance of the securities in which it invests and the income from them. The Company’s share price, which will determine the return to the investor, is also be affected by supply and demand. Consequently, the return to the investor may be higher or lower than the underlying NAV return.
