Performance data takes into account the ongoing charges, but not any entry 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.
