FOR PROFESSIONAL/QUALIFIED INVESTORS ONLY 2 Quarterly as of 30 June 2021 | Marketing communication SF Global Emerging Markets Equity Income Strategy Strategy risks Market Risk: Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investments may be subject to lower liquidity, greater price volatility and risks related to adverse political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging market securities typically present even greater exposure to the risks described under “Foreign Investment Risk” and may be particularly sensitive to global economic conditions. Emerging market securities are also typically less liquid than securities of developed countries and could be difficult to sell, particularly during a market downturn.
