RETURNS ON YOUR INVESTMENTS
1. Investment returns in the Balanced Fund are not guaranteed. Always remember that the value of your investment can rise or fall and that you may not get back the full amount you had invested, depending on prevailing market conditions. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. The Balanced Fund should therefore be considered as a medium to long term investment.
2. The principal amount in the Money Market Fund is not subject to fluctuations during the period of investment. Interest in the Money Market Fund is earned on a monthly basis and will vary from time to time based on conditions prevailing in the money market.
