3 Further information Important information regarding mirror funds For each fund managed by external investment managers Friends Provident International has set up its own mirror fund, which invests exclusively in the underlying fund, apart from a proportionately small amount, which may be held as a cash balance. This means that the price of the Friends Provident International fund will be different from the corresponding fund due to the cash holding and any differences in fund charges, but will move mainly in line with it. These mirror funds can only be accessed using Friends Provident International product wrappers. Please note that there are fees charged to investments in the mirror funds that will affect their return. For further details, please refer to the relevant product information brochure. Risk grades and descriptions Grade 1 Funds offering conservative return similar to money market rates. Grade 2 Low risk funds offering security and potential growth. Grade 3 These funds take a balanced approach to investment by holding a diverse portfolio of assets. Grade 4 A more focused asset exposure provides good growth potential with the risk of short-term volatility.

5 Special Risk Warning A - General Investment is not guaranteed: The value of an investment is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up. You could get back less than you have paid in. Specialist funds: Some funds invest only in a specific or limited range of sectors and this will be set out in the fund s aim. These funds may carry more risk than funds that can invest across a broader range or a variety of sectors. Suspend trading: Fund managers often have the ability, in certain circumstances, to suspend trading in their funds for as long as necessary. When this occurs, we will need to delay the cashing in or switching of units in the relevant fund. You may not be able to access your money during this period. Derivatives: Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on the prices of other assets. Most funds can invest in derivatives for the purpose of managing the fund more efficiently or reducing risk. Some funds also use derivatives to increase potential returns, known as speculation. For those funds we apply an additional risk warning (see Risk F). B - Foreign Exchange Risk: When funds invest in overseas assets the value will go up and down in line with movements in exchange rates as well as the changes in value of the fund s holdings. C - Emerging Markets: Where a fund invests in emerging markets, its value is likely to move up and down by large amounts and more frequently than one that invests in developed markets. These markets may not be as strictly regulated and securities may be harder to buy and sell than those in more developed markets. These markets may also be politically unstable which can result in the fund carrying more risk. D - Smaller Companies: Where a fund invests in the shares of smaller companies, its value is likely to move up and down by large amounts and more frequently than one that invests in larger company shares. The shares can also be more difficult to buy and sell, so smaller companies funds can carry more risk. E - Fixed Interest: Where a fund invests in fixed interest securities, such as company, government, index-linked or convertible bonds, changes in interest rates or inflation can contribute to the value of the investment going up or down. For example, if interest rates rise, the value is likely to fall. F - Derivatives : Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on the prices of other assets. The fund invests in derivatives as part of its investment strategy, over and above their use for managing the fund more efficiently. Under certain circumstances, derivatives can result in large movements in the value of the fund and increase the risk profile, compared to a fund that only invests in, for example, equities. The fund may also be exposed to the risk that the company issuing the derivative may not honour their obligations, which could lead to losses. G - Cash/Money Market Funds: These are different to cash deposit accounts and their value can fall. Also, in a low interest rate environment the product or fund charges may be greater than the return, so you could get back less than you have paid in. H - Property Funds : The fund invests substantially in property funds, property shares or direct property. You should bear in mind that Properties are not always readily saleable and this can lead to times in which clients are unable to cash in or switch part or all of their holding and you may not be able to access your money during this time Property valuations are made by independent valuers, but are ultimately subjective and a matter of judgement Property transaction costs are high due to legal costs, valuations and stamp duty, which will affect the fund s returns. I - High Yield Bonds: The fund invests in high yield (non-investment grade) bonds. Non-investment grade bonds carry a higher risk that the issuer may not be able to pay interest or return capital. In addition, economic conditions and interest rate movements will have a greater effect on their price. There may be times when these bonds are not easy to buy and sell. In exceptional circumstances, we may need to delay the cashing in or switching of units in the fund and you may not be able to access your money during this period. J - Reinsured Funds: Where a fund invests in an underlying fund operated by another insurance company through a reinsurance agreement, if the other insurance company were to become insolvent, you could lose some or all of the value of your investment in this fund.
