High Risk
  • This portfolio has a high exposure to equities and therefore tends to be more volatile than most other portfolios with lesser equity exposure.
  • Expected potential long-term returns are greater for portfolios with higher equity exposure but the risk of potential capital losses is greater as well, especially over shorter periods.
  • Where the asset allocation contained in this MDD reflects offshore exposure, the portfolio is exposed to currency risks.
  • Based on the outlined investment risks, the portfolio is suitable for long term investment horizons.
