Warning: You are responsible for making all of the investment decisions in relation to your pension. Your choices may not be the best options. As a result, there is a risk that the pension scheme may be underfunded by you and/or the value may be insufficient at retirement so that your long-term retirement needs may not be met. It is important that you seek independent professional advice prior to making any decisions which have tax, legal or other financial implications.

Warning: The value of your investment may go down as well as up and you may lose some or all of the money you invest. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance. Investments denominated in a currency other than your base currency may be affected by changes in currency exchange rates.
