• The Fund invests mainly in equity securities listed on the London Stock Exchange, but may to a lesser extent also invest in debt securities or convertible securities of UK issuers. Such securities have historically been subject to price movements due to company-specific factors and movements in the equity and fixed income markets of the UK generally. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate considerably over time.
• The Fund may distribute income gross of expenses. Whilst this might allow more income to be distributed, it may also have the effect of reducing capital.
• Other significant risks include: 
  Equity risk: prices of equities may be affected by factors such as economic, political, market, and issuer-specific changes. Such changes may adversely affect the value of the equities regardless of company-specific performance.
  Liquidity risk: the risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Such risk may be triggered by (but not limited to) unexpected events such as environmental disasters or pandemics. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.
