Performance Figure Calculations
All figures and data are current to date shown in heading. Performance is calculated on the basis outlined in the relevant table. Unless otherwise stated all performance data is sourced from Fidelity.
Illustrations
These figures are only examples and are not guaranteed - they are not minimum or maximum amounts. What you need to invest in order to achieve a specific sum or what you might get back depends on how your investment grows. You could get back more or less than the amount shown.
Tax
Tax assumptions are subject to future statutory change and the value of tax savings and eligibility will depend on individual circumstances.
Fund Information
Past performance is not a guide to the future. The value of investments may go down as well as up, and this may be especially true where the investment is in a developing or emerging market, which can be more volatile and less marketable than a more mature market. As a result an investor may not receive back the amount invested.
In certain cases, yields will fluctuate with changes in interest rates and capital values may also be adversely affected if any of the institutions with which cash is deposited suffers insolvency or any other financial difficulties.
Due to the greater possibility of default an investment in corporate bonds is generally less secure than an investment in Government bonds.
Investments in currencies other than the investor’s own currency will be subject to movements in foreign exchange rates.
