Africa & Middle East Equity

Overview

Summary of Fund Objective

To seek long-term investment growth, through growth of capital. The Fund mainly invests in equities of companies of any market capitalisation that are located in, or derive significant business from, Middle East or North Africa (MENA region).

Investor Profile

  • Seeking capital appreciation by investing in securities of companies in the Middle East and North African region.
  • Planning to hold their investments for medium to long term.

What Are The Key Risks?

The value of shares in the Fund and income received from it can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments.

  • The Fund invests mainly in equity and equity-related securities of companies located in or doing significant business in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Such emerging markets have historically been subject to significant price movements, frequently to a greater extent than equity markets globally. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate considerably over time.
  • Other significant risks include: 
    Emerging markets risk: the risk related to investing in countries that have less developed political, economic, legal and regulatory systems, and that may be impacted by political/economic instability, lack of liquidity or transparency, or safekeeping issues. 
    Foreign Currency risk: the risk of loss arising from exchange-rate fluctuations or due to exchange control regulations. 
    Liquidity risk: the risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Such risk may be triggered by (but not limited to) unexpected events such as environmental disasters or pandemics. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.

For full details of all of the risks applicable to this Fund, please refer to the “Risk Considerations” section of the Fund in the current prospectus of Franklin Templeton Investment Funds.
