Disclaimer This presentation is for Professional clients only. TB Evenlode Income is a sub-fund of the TB Evenlode Investment Funds ICVC. Full details of the TB Evenlode Investment Funds, including risk warnings, are published in the TB Evenlode Investment Funds ICVC Prospectus, the TB Evenlode Supplementary Information Document (SID) and the TB Evenlode Key Investor Information Documents (KIIDs) which are available on request and at www.evenlodeinvestment.com.

The TB Evenlode Investment Funds are subject to normal stock market fluctuations and other risks inherent in such investments. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. The value of your investment and the income derived from it can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the money you invested. You should therefore regard your investment as medium-to long term. As a concentrated portfolio of typically less than 40 investments Evenlode Income may carry more stock-specific risk than a fund spread over a larger number of stocks. The fund has the ability to invest in derivatives for the purposes of efficient portfolio management, which may restrict gains in a rising market.

Investments in overseas equities will be affected by changes in exchange rates, which could cause the value of your investment to increase or diminish.
