Remember, the value of investments isn't guaranteed. You may not get back the amount you invested, and any income received from them can fall as well as rise. This could also result from changes in currency exchange rates, particularly where overseas securities are held or where investments are converted from one currency to another. We recommend that any investments should be considered as medium to long-term commitments of at least 5 years.
