It is important for potential investors to evaluate the risks described below and in the fund prospectus on our website www.lyxoretf.com. Capital at risk: ETFs are tracking instruments: Their risk profile is similar to a direct investment in the Underlying index. Investors’capital is fully at risk and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Replication risk: The fund objectives might not be reached due to unexpected events on the underlying markets which will impact the index calculation and the efficient fund replication. Counterparty risk: investors are exposed to risks resulting from the use of an OTC swap with Société Générale. In-line with UCITs guidelines, the exposure to Société Générale cannot exceed 10% of the total fund assets. Physically replicated ETFs may have counterparty risk resulting from the use of a securities lending programme. Underlying risk: The Underlying index of a Lyxor ETF may be complex and volatile. When investing in commodities, the Underlying index is calculated with reference to commodity futures contracts exposing the investor to a liquidity risk linked to costs such as cost of carry and transportation. ETFs exposed to Emerging Markets carry a greater risk of potential loss than investment in Developed Markets as they are exposed to a wide range of unpredictable Emerging Market risks. Currency risk: ETFs may be exposed to currency risk if the ETF is denominated in a currency different to that of the Underlying index they are tracking. This means that exchange rate fluctuations could have a negative or positive effect on returns. Liquidity risk: Liquidity is provided by registered market-makers on the respective stock exchange where the ETF is listed, including Société Générale. On exchange, liquidity may be limited as a result of a suspension in the underlying market represented by the Underlying index tracked by the ETF; a failure in the systems of one of the relevant stock exchanges, or other market-maker systems; or an abnormal trading situation or event.
