An illustrative model portfolio as at 31 December 2015 *The EUR Funds are expected to have a level of risk which broadly corresponds with the UCITS Synthetic Risk and Reward Indicator as outlined in their key investor information document for the Fund. However, as the Fund is managed on a forward looking basis there is no guarantee that this will be achieved over any time period and there may be periods where the Fund falls outside of the UCITS Synthetic Risk and Reward Indicator and therefore the stated volatility levels. **UCITS SRRI volatility ranges based on weekly return data over 5 years.
