Investing carries the risk of fluctuations in the current value of the invested amount and the returns thereon, and the return on the amount originally invested is not guaranteed. The objectives of the investment policy of investment funds may not be achieved despite the use of professional care. Before any investment in investment funds, it is desirable to read the prospectus, key investor information and the half-yearly and annual management report. Neither the current nor the advertised return (HB Reavis Real Estate Investment Fund, sub-fund HBR CE REIF) is a guarantee of future return.
