Barings Europa Fund

For sub-funds or schemes authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland and not authorised by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, UK investors should note that the sub-fund is not covered by the UK Financial Ombudsman or the UK Financial Services Compensation scheme. UK Retail investors in the sub-fund have a right to access the alternative dispute resolution scheme in Ireland if they feel their complaint has not been dealt with to their satisfaction. However, UK investors will not have a right to access a compensation scheme in Ireland if either the Sub-Fund’s management company or the depositary should become unable to meet its liabilities to investors. Investors should consider obtaining financial advice and review the Prospectus and Supplement before investing.

Risks

The value of investments can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Emerging markets or less developed countries may face more political, economic or structural challenges than developed countries.

The Fund may also use derivatives for investment purposes. These are complex instruments that carry the risk of causing increased volatility in the value of the Fund.
