The portfolio manager is not tied to the benchmark in terms of investment selection or weight.

Benefits

ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ's proprietary fundamental valuation approach enables the most attractive US small-cap companies to be consistently identified.

Risks

ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Small & Mid Cap Funds invest in equities and may therefore be subject to high fluctuations in value. As these ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Funds pursue an active management style, each Fund's performance can deviate substantially from that of its reference index. Focusing intentionally on small cap equities may entail additional risks. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every Fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. The fund can use derivatives, which may result in additional risks (particularly counterparty risk).
