Schroder GAIA Helix

Distribution costs: The level of distribution costs in certain jurisdictions may impact the ability of the investment manager to meet the fund’s investment objective across all share classes after fees have been deducted. 
Credit risk: A decline in the financial health of an issuer could cause the value of its bonds to fall or become worthless. 
Currency risk / hedged shareclass: The hedging of the share class may not be fully effective and residual currency exposure may remain. The cost associated with hedging may impact performance and potential gains may be more limited than for unhedged share classes. 
Derivatives risk: Derivatives may be used to manage the portfolio efficiently. The fund may also materially invest in derivatives including using short selling and leverage techniques with the aim of making a return. A derivative may not perform as expected, may create losses greater than the cost of the derivative and may result in losses to the fund. 
Event risk: The fund will take significant positions on companies involved in mergers, acquisitions, reorganisations and other corporate events. These may not turn out as expected and may result in losses to the fund. 
Interest rate risk: The fund may lose value as a direct result of interest rate changes. 
Multi-manager risk: The fund allocates capital to multiple strategies managed by separate portfolio managers who will not coordinate investment decisions, which may result in either concentrated or offsetting risk exposures. 
Multi-strategy: The fund can be exposed to a broad range of risk. These include high yield bonds, ABS and MBS, convertible contingent bonds, emerging market and frontier and smaller companies risks. This can give rise the following risks: interest rate, credit, currency and liquidity risk. 
Stock connect risk: The fund may be investing in China "A" shares via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect which may involve clearing and settlement, regulatory, operational and counterparty risks. 
Sustainability risk: The fund has environmental and/or social characteristics. This means it may have limited exposure to some companies, industries or sectors and may forego certain investment opportunities, or dispose of certain holdings, that do not align with its sustainability criteria chosen by the investment manager. The fund may invest in companies that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor. 
Counterparty risk: The fund may have contractual agreements with counterparties. If a counterparty is unable to fulfil their obligations, the sum that they owe to the fund may be lost in part or in whole. 
Issuer risk: The fund is permitted to invest more than 35% of its scheme property in transferable securities and money market instruments issued or guaranteed by an EEA State / governments of the following country: United States of America. 
Market risk: The value of investments can go up and down and an investor may not get back the amount initially invested.
