9. JPM Natural Resources Fund:Investment objective and risk profile Investment objective and policy To invest, primarily in the shares of, companies throughout the world engaged in the production and marketing of commodities. The Fund aims to provide capital growth over the long term. Risk Profile The value of your investment may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. The value of equity and equity-linked securities may fluctuate in response to the performance of individual companies and general market conditions. Emerging markets may be subject to increased political, regulatory and economic instability, less developed custody and settlement practices, poor transparency and greater financial risks. Emerging market currencies may be subject to volatile price movements. Emerging market securities may also be subject to higher volatility and be more difficult to sell than non-emerging market securities. The Fund invests in securities of smaller companies which may be more difficult to sell, more volatile and tend to carry greater financial risk than securities of larger companies. The Fund will be concentrated in natural resources companies and may be concentrated in one or more countries. As a result, the Fund may be more volatile than more broadly diversified funds. The value of companies in which the Fund invests may be influenced by movements in commodity prices which can be very volatile. This Fund is aggressively managed, which may result in higher volatility of the Fund's performance and bigger differences between the performance of the Fund and its benchmark. Movements in currency exchange rates can adversely affect the return of your investment. Please refer to the Fund’s Key Investor Information Document (KIIDs) for more information relating to the Fund.
