RISK DISCLOSURE The participants should consider the following potential risks when investing in a fund: 1 Market Risk - The risk of losses in the value of a fund, due to factors that affect the overall performance of financial markets. These factors could be the current situation or future outlook, and could be both local and foreign. These factors could include the economy, politics, government bond yields, credit spreads on corporate bonds, country credit rating, stock market levels, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. The investment manager reduces the risk to the fund by purchasing price protection, investing in a wide range of asset classes or by increasing exposure to cash. The participant can reduce their exposure to market risk by choosing a fund with a higher proportion of assets in cash. 2 Credit and Default Risk - The risk of losses in the value of a fund invested in cash, bonds or debt, due to factors that delay or restructure a scheduled payment from the counterparty on the underlying investment. These factors could include bankruptcy of the counterparty. The investment manager reduces the risk to the fund by purchasing credit risk protection, reducing exposure to counterparties with a lower credit risk, or selecting assets of many unrelated counterparties. The participant can reduce their exposure to credit risk by choosing a fund which has lower exposure to cash, bonds or debt; or choosing a fund with lower exposure to banks or issuers with a higher credit risk. 3 Liquidity Risk - The risk of losses in the value of a fund, due to factors that constrain the quick sale of an asset of the fund. These factors could include a lack of buyers in the market, or the availability of liquidity to the buyers. The investment manager reduces the risk to the fund by selecting cash or assets for which there are regular trades. The participant can reduce their exposure to liquidity risk by choosing a fund with higher exposure to cash or assets which are regularly traded. 4 Concentration Risk - The risk of losses in the value of a fund, due to an excessive exposure to a single or similar assets, or markets. The investment manager reduces the risk to the fund, by investing in a wide range of assets. The participant can reduce their exposure to concentration risk by choosing a fund holding a wide range of assets, or covering different asset classes, market sectors, and counterparties. 5 Operational Risk - The risk of losses in the value of a fund due to inadequate or failed processes, people and systems or external events. Some examples of operational incidents include: • misappropriation of investments, due to fraud, an illegal act, malicious intent, spite, or terrorism; • disruption or failure of IT systems and infrastructure, which may be used for monitoring, execution, and administration; • inaccurate calculations due to data quality or errors, methodology flaws, or miscalculations; and • inaccurate or incomplete controls. The investment manager reduces the risk by segregating the duties and functions of individuals; setting disaster recovery and business continuation processes; performing independent regular checks; and implementing third party vendor selection and ongoing assessment processes. 6 Shariah Non-Compliance Risk - The risk of losses in the value of a fund due to the non-compliance with Shariah rules and principles for specific assets of the fund. In the event a specific asset becomes non-compliant, then income on the asset must be donated if continuing to be held, or the value of the specific asset may fall due to an excess of sellers in the market. The Shariah rules and principles are determined by the Shariah Committee or other regulatory council. The investment manager reduces the risk by monitoring the investments held against an approved list of Shariah compliant securities.
