Important information

 

For UK investors only

 

This web site is only intended for distribution to, and use by, persons resident in the UK and is not to be regarded as an offer to buy or sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy or sell securities in any jurisdiction other than the UK.

 

AXA Framlington, an expertise of AXA Investment Managers UK Limited (AXA IM UK) is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

 

An application for any of the AXA Framlington’s investment products should be made having read fully not only the relevant application form, but also, for UK investors, the relevant terms and conditions of the Simplified Prospectus applicable to the chosen product.

 

Performance figures shown do not relate to specific contracts and do not therefore take into account the charges that would be payable.

 

Please remember that past performance of an investment is not necessarily a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax assumptions may change if the law changes, and the value of tax relief (if any) will depend upon your individual circumstances. Investors should consult their own tax advisers in order to understand any applicable tax consequences.

 

If you are unsure about the meaning of any information provided on this web site, then please consult your financial or other professional adviser. We do not offer investment advice.

Price information and performance figures

Daily prices are quoted in pence per unit and priced at 12.00 on the date shown.

 

Performance data takes into account the annual management charges, but not any initial charge that may be payable. The growth in accumulation prices includes the reinvestment of income. The return on income prices are lower than accumulation prices because the income generated by the Fund is distributed. Equity investments should normally be viewed as medium- to long-term investments.
