We recommend this fund is held long term (minimum period of 5 years). We recommend that you hold this fund as part of a diversified portfolio of investments
The Edinburgh Investment Trust managed by the Liontrust Global Fundamental team may be exposed to the following risks:
- The Net Asset value (NAV) return of The Company corresponds directly to The performance of The securities in which it invests and The income from them. The share price, which will determine The return to The investor, will also be affected by supply and demand. Consequently, The return to The investor may be higher or lower than The underlying NAV return.
- The use of borrowings may increase the volatility of the NAV and may reduce returns when asset values fall.
- The product may invest in smaller companies which may result in a higher level of risk than a product that invests in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies may be subject to abrupt price movements and may be less liquid, which may mean they are not easy to buy or sell.
The product may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management which may result in increased volatility in the NAV.
The issue of units/shares in Liontrust Funds may be subject to an initial charge, which will have an impact on the realisable value of the investment, particularly in the short term. Investments should always be considered as long term.
