 | Risk Management:
There are only four events that could negatively impact expected performance: - Economic default by bank - Our criteria for selecting banks favors those that are State controlled, or subsidiaries of internationally renowned banks due to expected assistance in case of financial difficulties.
- Sovereign default - If the state suspends all repayments of foreign debt by any entity within the country, this is most likely only a temporary event. The fund does not envisage investing in any country where sovereign default is likely.
- Reduction in global deposit rates - Variability in performance is reduced by placing the bulk of the assets in long-term deposits, which provide absolute stable yields, especially compared to bonds.
- Currency risk - this is avoided as all deposits are placed into the same currency denomination of the fund.
