Risk information
An investment in funds is associated with risk. Historical returns are not a guarantee of future returns. The money invested in funds may increase or decrease in value and there is no guarantee that you will be repaid all of your deposited capital.
Historical returns and current index values are no guarantee of future outcomes. HQ Fonder cannot guarantee your chosen funds will not decrease in value.
International investments, particularly those on new markets, are normally associated with a higher level of risk (as well as greater possibilities of returns) than investments in Swedish securities. These risks include both political and economic uncertainty in other countries as well as currency fluctuations. These risks are particularly high on new markets since these countries may have relatively unstable governments and immature markets and economies.
For additional information a complete information sheet and simplified prospectus can be downloaded from the presentation page for each fund under the "More information" tab.
The information given on the Application Form, signed by the client, and in the latest Information Sheet and Fund Statutes applies to fund investments with HQ Fonder. The client must be aware of the contents of these documents.
