Key considerations and risks

Investing in financial markets exposes investors to risk. Investing in a broad range of fixed income instruments meansadverse moves in interest rates, poor performance by the companies issuing the bonds and exchange rate fluctuations mayall lead to losses. Derivatives may also be used for efficient portfolio management as well as investment purposes. Theunderlying investments will not exactly match changes in the value of a pension scheme’s liabilities and schemes will needto be able to generate sufficient return in order to meet liability cashflows. Further details (including relevant risk factors andfund specific risks) are available from your usual LGIM contact.
