Performance is calculated as a lump-sum and is quoted in USD or in the base currency of the fund and its respective share classes currencies. Performance is calculated for the portfolio, individual investor performance may differ as a result of initial fees, the actual investment date, the date of reinvestment and dividend withholding tax. Annualised performance is the fund’s total return expressed as an annual equivalent percentage rate over the time period listed. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. When investing in a fund denominated in a foreign currency, your performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. In emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Investments in derivative instruments entail specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the fund.
The investment activities of FTSF will be undertaken in accordance with the Shariah Guidelines. As a consequence, the performance of a FTSF Fund may possibly be lower than other investment funds that do not seek to strictly adhere to the Islamic investment criteria. The requirement to “purify” cash holdings or dividend income will likely result in payments being made to charities. The return to investors will be reduced by the amount of such payments. The International Shariah Supervisory Board of Amanie Advisors Sdn Bhd has certified that the Fund is in compliance with the requirements of the Shariah principles.
Investments entail risks, the value of investments can go down as well as up and investors should be aware they might not get back the full value invested.
