Risk warnings appropriate to the Aberdeen Income Fund
• The value of shares and the income from them can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount invested.
• Past performance is not a guide to the future.
• When cancellation rights apply and you exercise them, you may not get back the full amount invested if the share price falls
before written notice of the wish to cancel is received.
• The annual management charge for the Fund will be charged to the Fund’s capital account. This may constrain the Fund’s future
growth or lead to erosion of capital..
• Derivatives may be used to hedge against various risks but may not be used for speculative purposes. The use of derivatives for
hedging in a rising market may restrict potential gains.
• Exposure to a single country market increases potential volatility.

This fund will be launched at a future date to be confirmed by the ACD.
