Featured First Capital Funds/Unit Trusts

Before investing, consider the funds’ investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Please contact First Capital Asset Management Limited for an explanatory memorandum containing this information and ensure you read it carefully.

Neither diversification nor asset allocation ensures a profit or provides a guarantee against loss. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Fixed Income

In general, bond markets can be volatile. Fixed income securities carry interest rate risk, with bond prices usually falling when interest rates rise and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities. Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, credit risk and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. High yield/non-investment grade bonds involve greater price volatility and risk of default than investment grade bonds.

Share Trading

The prices of shares fluctuate in the secondary market. As share prices rise and fall, it is as likely that losses may be incurred as well as profits realised as a result of buying and selling such securities.

Equity Research is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute advice or guidance, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation of any particular security or trading strategy.
