Investment in EMF Is a Long-Term Commitment
EMF is aimed at aggressive investors who want the investment benefits of diversifying into emerging market economies, who can accommodate short-term fluctuations (including the possibility of negative returns), and who want to invest in longer-term growth potential.
Comfort with Risk
Any investment decision involves taking risks. It is important to understand the relationship between risk and return, especially in light of the timeframe you have in mind for your investment.
As a general rule, the higher the level of risk associated with an investment, the higher the potential return, although the chance of incurring a loss will also be greater. Historically, over the longer term, stocks provide higher returns (and therefore risk) than most other asset classes.
A commonly used measure of investment risk is volatility. This refers to the tendency of investment values to fluctuate. This volatility can apply to both the market price and the income from a particular investment. So, the value of your investment may go up or down, and you might not recover the full amount you invested. Please be aware that your investment is volatile and not guaranteed.
More About Risk
The investment processes used by the Swiss Investment Team are designed to ensure risk management on a number of levels. Investors should be aware that there are a number of risks associated with this type of investment. We have summarized four key risks:
Market risk
The risk of negative events occurring that affect the investments in a particular market, for example, interest rates, investor confidence, and political and world events;
Legislation risk
The risk of changes in legislation and taxation that may influence the value of your investment;
Management risk
The risk that the investment team does not perform up to expectations; and
Fund risk
The specific risks associated with EMF and the underlying fund, including the risk that the funds terminate or the responsible entity of the funds changes.
Who Can Invest?
SC financial planners (an investor who has invested a minimum of USD1,000 in SIP).
How Much Do I Invest?
Minimum - 10 shares
Maximum - 10,000 shares per account between December 1, 2006 and February 28, 2007; this will increase to 100,000 shares per account on March 1, 2007.
How Does It Work?
You purchase a number of shares in EMF to become a shareholder. The value of your shares goes up or down according to the EMF net asset value. Shares are valued every few minutes.
Share Price Valuation
EMF share price is calculated by dividing the net asset value (assets less liabilities) by the number of shares issued across all EMF investors. This price is then adjusted by the buy/sell spread to calculate a buy and sell share price, which represents the cost of buying and selling investments. The spread is designed to protect existing shareholders from transactional expenses, such as brokerage and settlement costs and annual management fees. Currently, the spread between the buy and sell price has been capped at 3% of the sell price. (Example: If the sell price = USD1.00/share, the buy price cannot exceed USD1.03/share.)
Investment Strategies
Buy at a reasonable price and sell at a moderately high price
Buy with long-term growth objectives
Invest moderately
