The above performance figures are based on NAV to NAV prices. These performance figures are presented as a matter of historical
record. Performance is determined by many factors, not just the skill of the ACD or Investment Adviser, including the general
direction and volatility of markets and may not be repeatable. Past performance is not a guide to future rates of return. The latest
performance figures may be obtained from the ACD and at www.aberdeen-asset.co.uk.
Performance information is for a period of five years. However, it should be noted that the performance information reflects that of
Aberdeen Managed Distribution Fund, a stand alone fund, which merged into the Aberdeen Managed Distribution Fund, a sub-fund
of Aberdeen Investments ICVC, on 17 November 2006.
Risk warnings appropriate to the Aberdeen Managed Distribution 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.
• Movements in exchange rates can impact on both the level of income received and the capital value of your investment. If the
currency in which you invest strengthens against the currency in which the underlying investments of the Fund are made the
value of your investment will reduce and vice versa.
• 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.
• The Fund may use derivatives for both hedging and investment purposes which raises the risk profile and increases potential
volatility. The use of derivatives for hedging in a rising market may restrict potential gains. The Fund does not presently have
exposure to derivative instruments. The ACD reserves the right to utilise derivatives for investment purposes on the giving of 60
days’ written notice to investors.
