Source: SVM/Lipper Hindsight, CR - capital return, to last quarter end to 31/03/2008. Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance. Stockmarkets and currency movements may cause the value of an investment and the income from it to fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Where underlying investments are made in warrants, their potential volatility may increase the risk to the value of your investment. An Investment Trust is a public limited company, the shares of which are quoted on the London Stock Exchange. The price of the share depends on the supply of and the demand for them and therefore is not necessarily the same as the value of its underlying assets per share (“Net Asset Value” or “NAV”). It may be higher than (at a premium to) or lower than (at a discount to) the NAV. Moreover, the level of premium or discount varies in accordance with supply and demand. Investment Trusts can borrow money, which then can be used to make further investments. In a rising market, this gearing can enhance returns to shareholders. Correspondingly, if the market falls, losses may be greater. Hence, to produce a benefit to shareholders, the level of gearing needs to be carefully judged and monitored.
