Equities are generally a higher return investment compared to other classes of assets over the long term. But you need to be aware of the following risks:

  • The capital value of units purchased through these plans, and the income which they can produce, can fall as well as rise depending on Stock Market conditions and the demand for the security on the open market.
  • Investments for equities should be considered for the medium to long term, as if you encash the investment in the early years or at a time when the markets have moved against you, you may get back less than you originally invested.
  • Past performance is no guarantee of future returns and independent advice should be sought as to the best investment route for your personal circumstances.
