Risks and Expenses Associated with Investment Trust Products
Risks Associated with Investment Trusts
The net asset value of investment trust fluctuates due to the price movements of the investment securities held by the investment trust (assets denominated in foreign currencies are also subject to the exchange rate fluctuations). A loss may occur when the net asset value declines and this may lead to a decrease in the principal investment. All profits and losses generated from the investment management attribute to the investors. Therefore, unlike bank deposits, neither the principal investment nor the certain level of investment performance is guaranteed.
