Investment guarantees. We do not guarantee the performance of your investment. You carry the investment and market risk, which includes the possibility of losing capital. The market value of your unit trust portfolio may go up or down depending on the market value of the assets in your unit trust portfolio. If your unit trust portfolio has international assets, a change in the exchange rates may cause the value of those investments to rise and fall. Past performance is also not necessarily an indication of what will happen in the future. Unit trust portfolios are generally medium- to long-term investments.
Investment guarantees. 1. Investment guarantees are an increasingly important tool for development finance as they contribute to reducing project risks and inducing private capital flows. Cooperation shall therefore ensure the increasing availability and use of risk insurance as a risk mitigating mechanism in order to boost investor confidence in the ACP States.
2. Cooperation shall offer guarantees and assist with guarantees funds covering risks for qualified investment. Specifically, cooperation shall provide support to:
a) reinsurance schemes to cover foreign direct investment by eligible investors; against legal uncertainties and the major risks of expropriation, currency transfer restriction, war and civil disturbance, and breach of contract. Investors may insure projects for any combination of the four types of coverage;
b) guarantee programmes to cover risk in the form of partial guarantees for debt financing. Both partial risk and partial credit guarantee shall be available; and
c) national and regional guarantee funds, involving, in particular, domestic financial institutions or investors for encouraging the development of the financial sector.
3. Cooperation shall also provide support to capacity-building, institutional support and participation in the core funding of national and/or regional initiatives to reduce the commercial risks for investors (inter alia guarantee funds, regulatory bodies, arbitration mechanisms and judiciary systems to enhance the protection of investments improving the export credit systems).
4. Cooperation shall provide such support on the basis of complementary and added value with respect to private and/or public initiatives and, whenever feasible, in partnership with private and other public organisations. The ACP and the EC will within the framework of the ACP-EC Development Finance Cooperation Committee undertake a joint study on the proposal to set up an ACP-EC Guarantee Agency to provide and manage investment guarantee programmes.

The rights of the investor before the said State shall continue to apply to sums in excess of those paid to him.
Investment guarantees. The market value of the units may decrease and increase, and past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Unit trusts are therefore generally medium- to long-term investments. You carry the investment risk, which includes the possibility of losing capital. If a fee or charge is levied, this is passed on to you by reducing the underlying investments of the Investment Account by the same amount. Your choice of unit trusts and their associated class will determine certain aspects of the fee structure. Where applicable, these fees and charges are levied proportionately across all unit trusts of the Investment Account. The Administrator may be required to adjust any charges due to a change in: tax (including any new tax), legislation, practice, or interpretation of any legal or regulatory authority. There are generally three types of fees that may be deducted from your investment on an initial and annual basis: administration fees, investment management fees, and financial adviser fees.
