These pages are designed for UK tax residents only and the funds listed may not be suitable for non-UK tax-resident investors. Before investing, you should read the appropriate key investor information document and the supplementary information document provided on this website. You should note:
Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance.
The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested, particularly if you do not continue with the investment over the longer term.
For the Rathbone Ethical Bond Fund, Rathbone Income Fund, Rathbone Blue Chip Income and Growth Fund, the Rathbone UK Opportunities Fund, Rathbone Heritage Fund, Rathbone Strategic Bond Fund, the Rathbone Strategic Growth Portfolio, the Rathbone Strategic Income Portfolio, and the Rathbone Total Return Portfolio, the annual management fee is currently charged to the capital of the fund. This may accordingly restrict capital growth
Changes in the rate of exchange between currencies may cause the value of an investment to go up or down.
Interest rate fluctuations are likely to affect the capital value of investments within bond funds. When long term interest rates rise the capital value of units is likely to fall and vice versa. The effect will be more apparent on funds that invest significantly in long dated securities. The value of capital and income will fluctuate as interest rates and credit ratings of the issuing companies change.
Tax levels and reliefs are those currently applicable and may change and the value of any tax advantage will depend on individual circumstances.
Investing in emerging markets or small companies may be potentially volatile, as these investments are high risk.
Performance data is sourced from Financial Express, on a bid to bid basis, except where otherwise stated.
Unit trusts carry a right of cancellation within 14 days under the FCA rules. Upon cancellation you may not recover your investment in full, if the money has fallen since the investment was acquired.
