#The indicated yield is obtained by multiplying the most recent dividend paid and the dividend frequency, divided by the NAV value of the last working day of the previous month. Special dividend payouts will not be included. As dividends are not guaranteed and prices fluctuate, the indicated yield is not representative of future dividend yields. The yields displayed do not take into account ad-hoc dividend distributions declared by the fund managers, irregular dividend distributions, fund charges and foreign currency conversion.

Risks to Be Aware Of
It is important to understand that all investments in unit trusts carry inherent risks, including the potential for capital loss.
Here are some key risks retail investors should be aware of:
- Capital Risk: Unit trust investments are not capital guaranteed. The value of your investment can go up or down depending on market conditions.
- Dividend Risk: Although some of the funds aim to provide regular payouts, dividends are not guaranteed and may fluctuate depending on the performance of the underlying securities and the interest rate environment.
- Liquidity Risk: During periods of market stress or low demand, certain underlying assets may be difficult to sell quickly without affecting their market price.
As always, it is vital for investors to assess these risks against their own financial goals and risk tolerance, and to seek professional advice where needed.
