There is no guarantee that either the target or positive returns will be achieved and no form of capital protection will apply. The higher the target return the greater the potential for the returns to be significantly higher or lower than expected. Changes in the rates of exchange may affect the value of investments. The Fund can invest in overseas securities which may also generate profits overseas and pay dividends in foreign currencies, which means the fund is exposed to changes in currency rates. The Fund may invest in emerging markets. It should be noted that these markets have additional risks associated with local custody and registration practices that may be less developed than more mature markets. The Fund takes its charges from the capital of the fund. Investors should be aware that there is potential for future capital erosion if insufficient capital growth is achieved by the Fund to cover the charges. Capital erosion may result in the amount of income that can be drawn declining over time. The Fund may hold sub-investment grade bonds that typically have a low credit rating and carry a high degree of default risk, which can affect the capital value of your investment. The Fund may hold fixed interest securities, which are particularly affected by trends in interest rates and inflation. This may affect the capital value of your investment. The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which means that there is a possibility that they cannot be readily converted into cash when required. The value of these securities is subject to greater fluctuation if they are not regularly traded. The Fund may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management (EPM) purposes. EPM restricts the use of derivatives for the reduction of risk, the reduction of cost and the generation of additional capital or income with no or an acceptable low level of risk. EPM transactions must be economically appropriate and the exposure fully covered. In addition to EPM, the Fund uses derivatives in pursuit of its investment objectives. All of these factors may affect the performance of the Fund. This document is issued in the UK by BNY Mellon Asset Management International Limited.
