Sustainable Future Monthly Income Bond Fund

KEY RISKS

Past performance does not predict future returns. You may get back less than you originally invested.

We recommend this fund is held long term (minimum period of 5 years). We recommend that you hold this fund as part of a diversified portfolio of investments.

• All investments will be expected to conform to our social and environmental criteria.
• Bonds are affected by changes in interest rates and their value and the income they generate can rise or fall as a result;
• The creditworthiness of a bond issuer may also affect that bond's value. Bonds that produce a higher level of income usually also carry greater risk as such bond issuers (high yield) may have difficulty in paying their debts. The value of a bond would be significantly affected if the issuer either refused to pay or was unable to pay.
• The Fund will invest in derivatives but it is not intended that their use will materially affect volatility. Derivatives are used to protect against currencies, credit and interest rate moves or for investment purposes. The use of derivatives may create leverage or gearing resulting in potentially greater volatility or fluctuations in the net asset value of the Fund. A relatively small movement in the value of a derivative's underlying investment may have a larger impact, positive or negative, on the value of a fund than if the underlying investment was held instead.
• The Fund’s volatility limits are calculated using the Value at Risk (VaR) methodology.  In high interest rate environments the Fund’s implied volatility limits may rise resulting in a higher risk indicator score.  The higher score does not necessarily mean the Fund is more risky and is potentially a result of overall market conditions.
• Credit Counterparty Risk: the Fund uses derivative instruments that may result in higher cash levels. Cash may be deposited with several credit counterparties (e.g. international banks) or in short-dated bonds. A credit risk arises should one or more of these counterparties be unable to return the deposited cash. 
• Liquidity Risk: the Fund may encounter liquidity constraints from time to time.  Participation rates on advertised volumes could fall reflecting the less liquid nature of the current market conditions.
• ESG Risk: there may be limitations to the availability, completeness or accuracy of ESG information from third-party providers, or inconsistencies in the consideration of ESG factors across different third party data providers, given the evolving nature of ESG.

The issue of units/shares in Liontrust Funds may be subject to an initial charge, which will have an impact on the realisable value of the investment, particularly in the short term. Investments should always be considered as long term.
