RISK WARNINGS

Any investment involves substantial risk. Should you enter into any transactions, ensure that you have fully understood all such risks and have independently determined that such investments are appropriate for you. In this respect please note that:

any investment in investment products involves substantial risks, which may vary depending on the nature of the Investment Product, and which are more particularly identified in the relevant Offering Document;
the price and value of interests in the Investment Products can go down as well as up and so the return on your investment may vary. You may not get back the original amount invested and may lose all of your investment;
past performance is not a guide to future performance. To the extent that this Website contains any indications as to future performance, such forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future performance;
the value of investments in Investment Products may be affected by the price of underlying investments and changes in any relevant foreign exchange rates;
to the extent an investment in a product includes an income component, any such income from the investment may fluctuate in accordance with market conditions and taxation arrangements;
tax assumptions may change if the law changes, and the value of tax relief (if any) will depend upon your individual circumstances. You should consult your own tax advisers in order to understand any applicable tax consequences;

The above list of risk factors is not complete and you must refer to the relevant Offering Documents with respect to individual Investment Products available in the Resources section at the following address https://www.ftglobalportfolios.com.
