Risk Warning

The Affirmative Equity Fund for Charities, the Affirmative Fixed Interest Fund for Charities, The Affirmative Corporate Bond Fund for Charities and the Epworth Investment Fund are designed for long term investors. The value of units in the funds can fall as well as rise, as the funds reflect the value of the investments held in them. The level of income is also variable.

The Trustees and the Manager of the Affirmative Deposit Fund for Charities will use due skill, care and diligence in carrying out their respective duties under the Scheme or as imposed by law. Whilst the Trustee and the Manager will comply with this undertaking in relation to the investment of the fund, they cannot give guarantees regarding repayment of deposits in the Fund.

The monthly interest distribution rate will fluctuate and past performance is no guarantee of future returns.

The Affirmative Deposit Fund for Charities is exempt from the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and depositors are not eligible for the Statutory Investors Compensation Scheme or the services of Financial Services Ombudsman. The Manager is however duly authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
