How risky is it?
The value of the Fund can go down as well as up. You could lose money.
One way to gauge risk is to look at how much a fund’s returns change over time. This is called “volatility”.
In general, funds with higher volatility will have returns that change more over time. They typically have a greater chance of losing money and may have a greater chance of higher returns. Funds with lower volatility tend to have returns that change less over time. They typically have lower returns and may have a lower chance of losing money.
Risk rating
Lysander Funds Limited has rated the volatility of this Fund as Low.
This rating is based on how much the Fund’s returns have changed from year to year. It doesn’t tell you how volatile the Fund will be in the future. The rating can change over time. A fund with a low risk rating can still lose money.
For more information about the risk rating and specific risks that can affect the Fund’s returns, see the Risk section of the Fund’s simplified prospectus.
No guarantees
Like most mutual funds, this Fund doesn’t have any guarantees. You may not get back the amount of money you invest.
How has the fund performed?
This section tells you how the Series O Units of the Fund have performed. Returns are after fund expenses have been deducted. These expenses reduce the Series’ returns.
Year-by-year returns
This chart would generally show how Series O Units of the Fund performed in each of the past 7 calendar years. However, year-by-year returns for Series O Units of the Fund have not been presented for the calendar years beginning 2016 because Series O Units were not outstanding for a full calendar year during those years. Series O Units did not drop in value in the years shown. The range of returns and change from year to year can help you assess how risky the Fund has been in the past. It does not tell you how the Fund will perform in the future.
Series O
Best and worst 3-month returns
This table would generally show the best and worst return for Series O Units of the Fund in a 3-month period over the past 7 calendar years.
