2 Investment risks The value of investments and income derived from them can go down as well as up as a result of market or currency movements and investors may not get back the original amount invested. Changes in interest rates can affect the value of fixed interest holdings and may adversely affect the value of your investment. Receiving the profit due from a derivative is dependent upon the counterparty fulfilling its contractual obligation. Derivatives are used for investment purposes to obtain, increase or reduce exposure to an asset, index or investment. Equity Market Neutral: An investment strategy that seeks to exploit differences in stock prices by being long and short in stocks within markets, sectors, industries or countries. This strategy is intended to create returns that, over an extended period of time, are uncorrelated with general equity market performance, however this cannot be guaranteed and over discrete periods there may be a high degree of positive or negative correlation. 2
