Current or past yields should not be considered a reliable indicator of future returns. Different funds carry varying levels of risk depending on the geographical region and industry sector in which they invest. You should make yourself aware of these specific risks prior to investing.

The value of investments, and the income derived from them, can go down as well as up, and you can get back less than you originally invested. Prevailing tax rates and relief are dependent on your individual circumstances and are subject to change. This article should not be considered a personal recommendation for you to invest, or to transfer your investments. If you are unsure about the suitability of any investment, you should seek professional advice.
