World Axis Fund Range

Although information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, Investec Wealth & Investment (“W&I”), a division of Investec Securities Proprietary Limited or its affiliates and/or subsidiaries (collectively “ISL”) does not warrant its completeness or accuracy.

Opinions and estimates represent W&I's view at the time of going to print and are subject to change without notice. Collective investment schemes (“CISs”) are generally medium to long term investments and the manager gives no guarantee with respect to the capital or the return of the Fund. 

Collective investment schemes trade at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing of up to 10% of fund net asset value to bridge insufficient liquidity and scrip lending. Performance shown is that of the fund and individual investor performance may differ as a result of initial fees, actual investment date, date of any subsequent reinvestment and any dividend withholding tax. 

Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. World Axis funds invest in portfolios of foreign CISs. As these levy their own charges, it could result in a higher fee structure for these portfolios. The manager has a right to close the portfolio to new investors in order to manage it more efficiently in accordance with its mandate.

Investments in general and foreign investments in particular involve numerous risks, the specified risks are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risks of investing in the fund. No security, financial instrument or derivative is suitable for all investors. In some cases securities and other financial instruments may be difficult to value or sell. The price or value of such securities and instruments may rise or fall and in some cases investors may lose their entire principal investment.

Returns and benefits are dependent on the performance of underlying assets and other variable market factors and are not guaranteed. Levels and basis for taxation may change. Exchange rate fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the value of certain investments.
