Risk Involved with Investing in Investment Trust

Investment trusts we manage predominantly invest in domestic and foreign equities as well as public and corporate debt securities whose prices and values may fluctuate. There is no guarantee that the principal amount invested to be preserved, and the invested value per unit will fluctuate according to the changes in market prices of the securities and foreign exchange rates. Therefore, there is a risk that the current value of your investments may be less than what you originally invested.

Also the risk profile and characteristics of the investment trust products vary depending on the type of invested assets, investment restrictions, and principal market and countries to be invested. Please read the prospectus, trust deed and pre-transaction information sheet carefully before making an investment decision.

Risk Involved with Discretionary Investment Management Agreement and Investment Advisory Agreement

Investment objectives and types of transactions to be made for the investment advisory or discretionary investment management agreement are to be determined upon consultation with clients. However, the value of financial instruments and derivative products are to be influenced by various indices and market fluctuations. Therefore, the value of the asset of clients to be managed in the investment advisory or discretionary investment management agreement may become less than originally invested.

Investment advisory fee and discretionary investment management fee as compensation for relative services provided are to be determined based on the company's prefixed fee table based on the asset amount to be managed, investment objectives, method of investment and duration of the management services, and will be determined for each case individually.
